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

She's at No.1 in over 70 countries right now. How is she "over"? If you do not have anything constructive to say or you're just going to troll then please the thread in peace for us who enjoy the song. thank you.

She kinda ripped the melody from Jamie XX during 1:28 - 1:38 of Work.

This song is amazing. The production reminds me a bit of Good Times by Jamie XX, is Popcaan involved with this one?

Wait she's over because you don't like her song?

But on another note, from what i've heard from the old Navy members is that it's literally the same reactions with every Rihanna single that's released.

Many people on here didn't like Diamonds, WFL, Only Girl. But they all turned out to be a success and now most people love them.

This is trash. Even AO is better.

The overexaggerations in here...Pathetic..

Anyways, something about the 3rd chorus really makes it my favourite one, idk why

[Planet Mars]

I'm here for this slaying the charts, I'm tired of all that mayo in the top 10

I think she's over in the sense that she refuses to make fun light-hearted pop music, which was the main reason the GP checked for her, I mean, this song will satisfy her stans and maybe a few brainless teenagers who are into the Fetty Wap trend but if I had to bet, the GP is gonna reject the song even more than 45Seconds

I just don't even think a Grammy performance of this would convince people that it's good tbh, y'all are blinded by hype, this is easily her worst lead single by miles

Why does anyone need to be convinced of anything? Some ATRL gays and the Popjustice dude don't like it. So what? The commercial response being so fast and so strong initially is, while not a guarantee, a strong indication that the GP is already convinced it's good.

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

Mess @ you even thinking that she's following the tropical trend. When she's been doing it since the beginning of her career.

And she's singing in patois, that's a risk in itself.

I love this song personally, but you don't need to be upset, there are artists like Lady Gaga you can listen to if you want pure pop music.

So, she isn't allowed to make anything but light-hearted pop music?

I mean, it's cool if you don't like the song, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but saying someone is over just because they don't make a light-hearted pop song that doesn't immediately connect is just wrong.

Even if the song doesn't connect and falls off the charts, isn't it at least respectable that Rih is playing around with her sound?

Okay so some random people are hating it. Not any different than this thread. There's some praising it as well.

[Timber]

This is a joke right? It sounds like a Justin Bieber reject.

When is the real lead single coming?
