I love this song, it's one of the better songs on Rated R. That said, I don't get why everyone wanted it to be a single. It's catchy, but it doesn't sound like something that would work well on radio at all.

If I were Rihanna, i'd fork over some of my own money to make this video just so that it can have a video

Definitely in my Top 3 for Rihanna though! |

This song is amazing. It's a shame this was never a single.

Gorgeous track in which I only discovered its true beauty recently. Photographs and Hard always overshadowed everything else on that record for me at the time.

Chew Fu did a terribly boring remix of this for Rihanna's remix album, but other than that, Fire Bomb was a missed opportunity. I was hoping that maybe the label would commission a variety of remixes for a Club Play only track, like they had done with "Breakin' Dishes" but unfortunately, this didn't happen. |

I loved this and thought it would have made a better first single than "Russian Roulette". I've gotten tired of this now and the entire Rated R era though.

This would NOT have been a hit as a single.
But I do enjoy it, although it isn't on the same level as Photographs or Hard.

^True tea.
I'm NOT here for this awful song, with it's weak chorus and weak vocals.

This is probably her most overRATED album track tbh. Breakin' Dishes and Complicated are miles better than this.

Whatever! ^ This is the best song she's ever recorded IMO. I loved how she described her failed relationship so beautifully. The metaphors used in this song are AMAZING. Even RiRi said her biggest regret of the Rated R era was NOT releasing this song. So there...from the Queen herself. :)

I still love it, but I can only listen it in moderation due to overplay on my part.

The bridge in this song is epic.
It's Rihanna's best song.

This should have been the first single....NOT Russian Roulette.
As a matter of fact it should have been Fire Bomb, Hard, Rude Boy and Te Amo in that order...but I digress...Really good song

Good song. The only reason I wish this was a single is so it would shut people up. I just don't get why people think it would smash. It's not as catchy (or good) as Russian Roulette, and that wasn't a smash. It's a great song, but Rihanna has better.

After I listened to TTT the second time through, I felt the need to listen to something with more substance, so I put this on, closed my eyes, and went along for the ride.
Seriously, she hasn't recorded anything else as awesome as this.
