The background beat reminds me a little of Destiny's Child "Independent Women". Can see this doing really well, potentially a #1 on the Hot 100.

This sounds so disjointed. It hardly sounds like a hit let alone a #1.

I love this. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to sample "Maria Maria" for a major release.

I love it, yet mildly underwhelmed considering what Bryson and Rihanna are capable of individually. Even so, this is another cute jam for the summer.

#2 with 0.6071
It's also worth noting that it overtakes 'I'm the one'

I feel like this song suffers from the lighter version of "Anaconda" syndrome of relying too heavily on a recognizable sample but I still support it. I like pretty much everything about it.

This is ok. The sample is the best part, but I wish they tinkered with it or did something for it. It's probably Rihanna's worst feature in some time too. Agree about the phoned in comment. Disappointment compared to what I was expecting, but it does sound like a contemporary hit.

Eh, "LOYALTY" is much more a summer jam than this and probably will overshadow this once that video comes out.
I expected so much more from all 3 of them honestly.

I believe this will fall short of hitting #1 on US Itunes, but it will definitely be back.

Ok the video is AMAZING. The aesthetics and color scheme is A1 and I don't think Rihanna has ever had as much swag/energy in a video like she does here.
Oddly the song is a lot better with the video, maybe if I saw that first my initial reaction would be different.

Rihanna is LITERALLY da baddest b!tch in the industry right now. Her smile and energy in the video is so infectious and takes this to another level.

Meh. A lot of Rihanna's lines sound like they'd fit right into "Work" and DJ Khaled dropping his name and having it echo is such a turn off for this song. Love the sample, but I'll just go listen to the original instead.

This Dj is collecting all those celebrities, but the result is kinda cheap, not only this song but also previous ones, i guess the Dj is lazy - go and learn from Calvin Harris - time to start to work Dj Khaled.

I don't usually care for DJ Khaled but I like this. I guess I like it because it has Rihanna on it and her vocals are so sexy here and the "Maria Maria" sample fits in perfectly.
