"You Da One" was Rihanna's 2nd single from TTT. The track peaked at #16 in the UK and #14 in the US. The song underperformed in comparison to her second single from LOUD (What's My Name) but I personally thought it deserved similar success. I love the track and think It's one of the best off the album. Why didn't it slay?
I personally think it deserved to do better. It is a fairly weak song, but it's not THAT bad. I like it, and I think it would've been bigger if it wasn't overshadowed by WFL.
However, one thing I HAVE noticed is that the instrumental to it is very similar to the one used at the beginning of the Till the World Ends remix. Did anybody else notice this? Both are produced by Dr. Luke, so that's probably why.
you Da One could have been more successful is Rihanna did a better music video and released it at a later time. she released it when we found love was slaying if she released it after that it could have been a bit more successful
