Rihanna described the track as neither happy nor sad, and said it was "happy and hippy" rather than "dancey".
"It's laid-back but it's hopeful," she added. "It's a record that... gives me such a great feeling when I listen to it. The lyrics are very hopeful and positive, but it's about love and... a little different to what people would expect, I think."I'm excited about that," she continued. "I'm excited to surprise them sonically."
When asked about her continued success, Rihanna said that she just "loves great music".
"When I make an album, that's what I think about; what I want to hear, what I love to hear," she explained.
"I think that's what my fans love... I always want to make it interesting for them. I always want to make it a little fresh and a little ahead of what's on the radio.
"That's the challenge for me," she said, "but I enjoy that."
