It's in the same vein as "We Found Love", but it's not nearly as strong. Nevertheless, I can see this becoming a big hit.

Because it's exploding out of the gate and fits right in to the pop trends?

This was one of the initial highlights of this era for me. Though it should've been the second single, honestly. I do hope she takes a long break after this though, she needs it.

I have no clue why so many people think this is a guaranteed #1 for Rihanna. I mean she is coming of from two underperformed singles. Personally I can really see this becoming Marry The Night 2.0

I think it'll be the Cheers of the era. After following a few underperforming/weaker singles, it'll manage a top 10 peak and will fade quickly due to another upcoming album.

This is horrible. Its not catchy at all. The chorus is "WHERE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN" and the production is just awful. Its like they took We Found Love, mashed it up with Miami2Ibiza and then threw in a We Speak No Americano style beat randomly.
It's the same 3 sets of lyrics repeated over and over and over again. The songs not even that discernibly catchy.
I don't see how this POS can even be played on radio, its not even remotely fun or anything.
I honestly hope this continues her string of underperforming singles because this doesn't even deserve to be Top 20.

I gave it a listen and I don't like it at all. Give me "We Found Love," "You Da One" and "Birthday Cake" over this any day. Much like Jake said, it has no fun factor to it whatsoever, yet lacks an emotional factor as well. The only thing that can make this a hit is the dance-ability.

I think this song is overrated as shit to be honest with you. Musically it's generic and lyrically it's beyond half-assed.

Well what do you know?

She also just slipped into the top 40 with "Birthday Cake," and "Talk That Talk" is at #32. Who else besides Rihanna could pull off such a thing?

^Look on the bright side. At least you didn't like "You Da One" like I did.

It's already starting to slow down. I strongly believe this is going to end up like marry the night.
