About this song
The song is part of Rihanna's fifth album, Loud. Its music video uses color filters and abstract imagery to create a surreal natural paradise of grassy, flowery plains.
What it's about
The song is reminiscent of S&M, appearing to be about love and romance while actually being about being dominant in the bedroom. One alternate reading takes it as a reference to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, with Eve as the only girl in the world and the only one who knows Adam's heart.
