OK song from a few years ago. It samples something by Avril Lavigne. Maybe "I'm With You."

In the bottom half of my favorite Riri singles... it was okay.

Correct, the sample is Avril's "Im With You." This song rocks :)

I didn't care for this when it was a single and I still don't. Quite possibly my least favorite Rihanna single ever.

I'm not a big fan of this either, but it's fun. I like it within the context of the album.

It has to be One of Rihanna's weakest single ever. Didn't like this at the time and still no like it today.

That Avril sample was on point. The Runners were very diverse with the production. They also produced California King Bed.

This was ok. I remember people raving about it when the album first came out. I preferred this to the dull California King Bed.

I can't say this is even close to being one of my fav Rihanna singles, but if I'm in the mood for it, I love it.
It should have been the single after "S&M." I think it would have been a much bigger hit had it not followed a flop. Even though I like "CKB" more.

I mean, this is enjoyable to a small extent, but it's also amongst my least favourite Rihanna singles. The Avril sample is annoying and I've always found this to be highly overrated on here. I'll always remember the post someone made when WFL came out: "They killed Cheers for this? LMAO" or something along those lines

It's catchy and I liked it when I heard it. That said, I never did purposely seek it out and probably wouldn't. But it's good.

This is probably my favourite Rihanna song. I think it would have been a much bigger hit if it were released earlier in the album's life, or wasn't essentially killed off for "We Found Love" (which became massive, so the label obviously made the right call).

My favorite single off Loud was "Only Girl (In The World)" initially, but it's "California King Bed" that has aged the best for me. I adore that song.
As for "Cheers (Drink To That)," it depends on my mood. Not a Rihanna favorite either way.

Not one of her better songs at all, but it definitely should have been released in place of "California King Bed". Would have probably been an even bigger hit if it were released earlier and didn't have "We Found Love" cut it off.

This (and 90% of Loud) is abysmal and has only gotten worse over the years.

Perfect choice. It sucks this got derailed by "We Found Love" as it could have been bigger but its life was cut way too short.

I never got the hype with this song either. It's not bad but I remember when this Era was going on this board acted like it was the 2nd coming. It ended up doing well so, what can we say.

Her most underrated track by far, it's so good. Such a great summer song.

CKB had no business being a single. I liked this a lot at the time, although it hasn't aged as well as "What's My Name?". Still fun though.
