I've always loved this. Underrated.

I loved this when the album came out, but It hasn't aged as well as the other singles from the album. I still enjoy it from time to time.

One of the weakest spots on Loud. It sounds like a 1993 Michael Bolton B-side, and not a good one at that. Should have been skipped so Cheers could have had a longer run.

I was one of the few pushing for this to be the fourth single. Even though it underperformed, I'm still glad they released it because I love it, and people needed to hear Rih's improved vocals.

This was not the best single choice, but I definitely think it's one of her best vocals on record. She looks stunning in the video too.

The song starts off so gentle at first, and the bridge hits, where she starts pouring her heart out:
"Just when I felt like giving up on us. You turned around and gave me one last touch. That made everything feel better. And even then my eyes got wetter. So confused when I ask you if you love me? But I don't want to seem so weak..."

Listening to this now, I like it better than I thought I did! It's melodically very strong.
I think what always throws me off is the performance Rihanna did with Jennifer Nettles on the ACM's in 2011. That duet didn't work for me, but it's usually the first thing I think about when it comes to the song.

Not the best single choice at the time, but I'm glad it was released. I can't help but belt right along to it when it comes on.

Fans wanted this released SO BAD back then. I loved it but always thought "Cheers" should've came right. Pissed WFL snatched its wig.

Such an underrated song. So sad is under-performed after her three #1 smashes.

The opening guitar sounds very similar to the one in Alanis Morissette's "Hands Clean".

One of these songs that were ruined for me by commercials that used it in the background

I didn't hear the Runners' signature sound...or was it before the chorus?

LMFAO, I’m just listening to this now for the first time in years (not her best moment, glad she finally left these melodramatic ballads behind). How did no one notice the lyric “…and a little bit of last night on these sheets” when it came out? Hilarious.
