I was quite disappointed with the production of this in general. The rework someone else made is good but only re-organises. It's really difficult to remix without an acapella; you have to work with what you've got. Still, I've started an attempt. This is an early draft of my rework, and I'm posting it now so you can (please respectfully and constructively) critique so the people that don't like the original production but like the song can eventually get something they like
(P.S. I know the vocals are too quiet at times, I'm working on it.)
I like it a lot, the production sounds much better and more alive, especially the 3:30-3:50 part. The other re-work got taken down, so I'll put this in the OP for now until you complete it!

At this point, I dont think anything off the album will "smash". I don't understand why she doesn't just release the music. Like, what a dumb tactic. Wait 2+ years to release music and spend over 3 months on pre-album singles. It just seems so anti-Rihanna. It's like she wants to have a hit, but she doesn't at the same time...
I think people would like this song and the whole album more if it was released BEYONCÉ style.
bummed my mix got taken down! I'll try to re-upload it later today for those that haven't gotten a chance to listen.
ETA: i just received a message that someone reported my track instead of it just being automatically snatched. so someone in the navi is clearly pissed that i reworked the song. put a strike on my account too. so petty.
I'm just gonna sit here quietly as the person who has genuinely enjoyed all of the Home and the R8 tracks so far.
And chill about the tidal exclusive thing. I'm convinced either the single or the album (probs just the single) will be on iTunes tonight since BBHMM was mislabeled as coming out April 7th.

That's unfortunate to hear. But I doubt that it was one of the navy. Most of us like your version and I'm sad to see it disappear like that.
Working on my rework of this. The chorus will not have that noise in background, and it will have a little dubstep drop after second verse. Will upload it on SoundCloud later.
2010 vibes when songs had huge replay value.
