SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Brian Kennedy. Chris Brown, Robert Allen, Andre Merritt
Producer(s): Brian Kennedy, Makeba Riddick
This dance/pop track about being in a state of mental anguish was co-written by Rihanna's boyfriend at the time Chris Brown, who also contributed backing vocals. The other co-writers were Andre Merritt and Robert Allen who together with Brown comprise his songwriting team, the Graffiti Artists. The trio also penned Brown's hit "Forever."
This was produced by Brian Kennedy who has also worked with Ciara ("My Love"), Jesse McCartney ("Runnin'") and Menudo ("Inside Out").
The video for this song was directed by acclaimed fashion photographer David LaChapelle. Among the other videos he has directed include "Dirrty," "I'm With You" and "The Voice Within" all by Christina Aguilera.
This entered the Hot 100 at #18, the first single by the Barbadian singer to debut in the top half of the chart.
This dance-pop song was Rihanna's fourth #1 hit on the Hot 100. It also topped the singles charts in a number of other countries, including Belgium, New Zealand and Turkey.
L.A. Reid - the head of Rihanna's record company Def Jam, told MTV News that with this song, the Barbadian singer was taking control of her career. He explained that when Def Jam repackaged Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad, the second single from the repackage was this song. Reid added: "It was the first time that Rihanna actually came to me and said, 'Here's the song I want to put out.' She played me the song. That was her taking control, even on her last album. She understands what hits are, and she knows what she wants to say. She's at that place where she can do it."
