Album Notes & Community Reviews
Co-written with Ne-Yo, this exceptionally dark, brooding ballad marked a dramatic sonic pivot for Rihanna following the highly publicized domestic violence incident with Chris Brown earlier that year. The track's ominous, trip-hop-influenced production set the intensely personal tone for the 'Rated R' album.
