I see lots of people don't think YdO is a great 2nd single and they say it's good but just lacks something to be a hit.
I got a thought, maybe DJ just wants to slow down by releasing YdO as the 2nd single cuz WFL is so successful, and after YdO, release a BIG BOOM BOOM HIT like WHYB or RMO, which seems reasonable.
What do y'all think?
Well Rihanna has to release a Pop and and Urban single before an album release, since she appeals to both audiences. YDO is the least sexual song that could be classified as urban, so its just a nice song that people can listen to without feeling like they're listening to something thats pure sex. I'm sure if Rihanna had released "Cockiness" and "Birthday Cake" as the first two singles, some people wouldn't buy the album because they don't want to listen to (what they presume is) sex, sex, sex.
