I really disagree with this comment I'm not even American and I was touched.

The Uprising Creative. They also did What Now, which imo is one of her best videos.
This is really beautiful and touching Rih, great work. Now upload it on Vevo so the people can actually see it.

Well hello young man at 5:03
It's a nice video, pretty much what you expect for a song about America, watch this song slay on 4th of July
I thought of yonse's rework with the speech while watching this
And as usual, flawless makeup and hair. Love the look

I feel bad for Rihanna because her most anticipated era is ruined because
of Tidal. This video could easily get over 20 million views on VEVO.

Isn't it risky to do something like this? I have a feeling the song and the video is really critical towards the USA?
Or maybe I get the wrong message from it

LOVE the video.
I started shaking when I saw the police beating the hell out of the man with them sticks. Just sad.

The video is pretty much saying that the American Dream is not always pretty or even attainable.....it's time for a New America and a better America for the future of our kids

i'm not sure if it's suppose to be a powerful asthmatic ode to America...or it's a social commentary
because the lyrics suggest living the American Dream and making it in the country...but the video has a lot of the wrongs, injustice and struggles
so if anything...the song is a satirical jab at America when juxtaposed next to the video
