So disappointed by this. I rarely dislike any of Rihanna's singles, i don't really stan for her but she always released amazing songs as singles.
This just didn't 'work' for me.
Something about Rihanna that i INSTANTLY get into her songs. When i don't like a song from the first listen, it never grows on me.
From the singles she has released this year, the only one i liked and still bop to is BBHMM.

Work is incredibly generic, and could have been a song on all of Rihanna's previous albums. This is a very important album for her and i expected her to come out with a BANG. But this just doesn't do it, at least for me.

I'm sure it will smash though, because she has amazing power, and hopefully the rest of the album will deliver.

I agree.

WTF with some people here? It was like love-at-first-hear WTF is wrong with y'all?

It's not bad, but it doesn't sound very "Anti" it's not pushing any boundaries.

The boundary she's pushing is the fact she's singing in caribbean patois and americans think it's hindi.

Overshadowing the song that's #1 in 74 countries as we speak?

You just keep running in here to say something negative

[Outlaws]

This is a grower.

[Retro]

Do we really know if it "sounds like ANTI" if there's a chance she scrapped the only other full songs we have

[Icarus]

Yikes this is underwhelming

[Nikolai.]

inb4 the Navy claims that she set the tropical sound trend
I heard it on radio and liked it better but you literally can't understand a thing
Whirr whirr whirr whirr whirr tetememe dir dir dir dir dir. Forget the verses, I could only understand a word every few seconds

[RihRihGirrrl]

the fact that she's singing in patois is certainly a risk...most people will just think she's doing a terrible job with pernunciation lol I really hope we get more songs on the album with island vibes...it's really when she's at her best

[Butters]

Wow. this is her worst song since... 45S.

[MDJD11]

Literally you guys hate it because it's repettive. It's a dancehall song.

The video will have y'all crawling in saying how much you love it.

[shark_heather]

First time I heard I was like awful
But after the second listen I can't get it out of my head I have it on replay I hope it will be huge

[Cobato]

Pretty lazy, but I like it.

[Retro]

Justin down to 0.2811 combined compared to Rihanna combined.

[Starkboy]

I hope the next single will be more Europe-friendly.

I love Urbanhanna, but still.

[musicgirl224]

I just heard it...

This truly is her Artpop era

Why is she trying to sound like Fetty Wap? It already sounded bad enough with him doing that awful rap/sung voice and she just sounds terrible. I mean honestly you are LYING to yourself if you think that is a quality song. The beat sounds like it was taken off a loop from Logic Pro and the song sounds like it was written in five minutes... All the wait for this?! This makes 45Seconds sound like a masterpiece....

I can't believe I'm saying this but she might be over :/

This will perform like "Focus" on the charts. It'll have a strong debut with streams and because it's Rihanna and Drake, but the callout scores will be the pits on pop radio, she might be able to get urban on this but other than that it's just gonna slowly drop until it falls off......

Whatever, she served 8 years of bops and has tons of great singles I'll always listen to
