"You know how to pull me back when I go runnin'," Rihanna sings on her latest chart botherer. Given that her hectic album release and touring schedule mean she's harder to pin down than a champion wrestler, we're not surprised that she's feeling smitten; but more importantly, we'd be truly grateful if she could point us in the direction of this superhuman fella.
In fact, Riri is so enamoured with her latest beau that she sounds fit to burst here. "You da one that I dream about all day/ You da one so I make sure I behave," she spills over Caribbean-flavoured beats helmed by Dr Luke that are bouncier and more playful than a round of schoolyard jump rope. Naturally, there's a fair bit of filth in there too; and although it's nothing we haven't heard from her several times over, it's difficult not to revel in her happiness.
