It is a bop. I wonder if it peaked at #5 on the hot 100 would the Navy like it more

I guessed it! At first I was like WTF? Why do you release this after WFL?!?!? Too soon and without a great video. Also, I really have a hard time getting into general mainstream slow tempo music if it's not promoted well and this was no exception.

The video was "fine" but it didn't match the quality of 'We Found Love' at all, had some nice ideas but it was a mess, pretty much a B&W 'Rude Boy' video rehash. My head always plays a much nicer video, sort of tropical/caribbean with 'California Gurls' dreamy-like vibes, I guess if released as a 3rd single after TTT or 4th after WHYB, it would have done better.

I'm okay with this going... I feel like it'd have been a little higher in this rate if it had smashed, though.
I second all the comments about dumbass Def Jam though

Noooooooo!

Hey now, hey now...

Of course, every song that is great/good gets a bad reputation if it flops like when it happened with Gaga's 'Marry The Night'.

In my opinion MTN is great 10/10 and YDO is pretty good 8/10.

Now that it's out, everybody is silent

About 'Birthday Cake'. I like the version with Chris Brown but if it only was Rihanna like the album version should have been, it would have got a 10/10 from me.

LOL, Yes!

I gave up with ATRL's taste for Rihanna after 'Phresh Out The Runway'.

i originally preferred the remix but now i only use the interlude

BC is a bop and deserves top 40.
You all can stay pressed.

Flop stans, Let Me should've been in the top 20

Hey I gave this a 0 If it hadn't had Chris I would have given it a 6.
