About This Album
A 1:18 snippet of an unfinished Rihanna track leaked online in late 2011, sparking immediate demand across pop fandom. The song featured a skeletal, beat-driven production with lyrics that left little to the imagination. Fans pushed so hard for the full version that Def Jam Records rushed the interlude onto her sixth studio album, Talk That Talk, which dropped on November 21, 2011.
The track sat between "You da One" and "Watch n' Learn," fitting the album's playful, sexually charged vibe. On February 20, 2012, marking Rihanna's 24th birthday, she released a full-length remix featuring Chris Brown. This collaboration drew intense scrutiny given their history, yet it propelled the song to number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100. The original interlude and the remix combined eventually earned a Double Platinum certification from the RIAA.
