Anyway, why does it matter. The Navy ONLY cares about charts and as long as it's charting well they're not going to complain.

But you can not scream "artistic growth" and "innovator" when said artist actually did NOTHING but add a vocal to a song that sounds like some other country/pop song that's been done before. Give credit where credit is due. She's being used to make the song a hit. Nothing more, nothing less. Enjoy and get your life if you like it. If you don't stop harping on the damn song.

I'm still not convinced this is the actual lead single.

She obviously wanted the song on her album. She probably wanted it to be the lead. She also didn't want to mess with perfection so she just lent her greatest asset, her voice to the track. How is this a problem?


And Vin, you used to be better. I said producers were already listed. Nowhere did I say it also had 9 producers. But yas, hunTy. DragT! That seems to be the level of discourse you seem the most adept at.

Embarrassing.. but she's Rihanna so I'm not surprised.

Surely her lazy arse could have changed something to get a credit?

They obviously weren't precious with them...

Lazy though? So Ella Fitzgerald was lazy for not changing anything to get credits?

9 writers and the song is #2 on iTunes. It worked.

[sk8erfan]

Well if The Independent reported the songwriters they might as well have included songwriters from the music of the Sun sessions..

[CarterTax]

So glad Rihanna doesn't feel the need to steal writing credits in order to prop herself up or to make herself something she's not. She gives credit where it's due to the writers, and I appreciate that.

I wouldn't be shocked if she wasn't given the song until Only One bombed on itunes,

[Embustera]

I still cant believe 9 people worked on this song. And it's only 0.99. She probably won't make any money of this single anyway.

They just can NOT handle the artistic growth.
