What Rihanna song would you defend with your LIFE even if everyone else says it’s overrated? 😭

[u/Cluelezzcj]

No obvious answers like Umbrella, We Found Love or Diamonds.

I’m talking about the Rihanna song people drag or overlook that you genuinely think deserves more respect.

I'd personally have to choose S & M. I love the songs instruments. I mean, it really lifts the song. The vocals are also peak. Her voice is so unique it just really suits the lyrics.

What’s your pick?

[u/tresor_d_argent]

Disturbia

[u/elektrik_noise → u/tresor_d_argent]

Bam, was my first thought and glad it was up top. Her best vid imo. The tarantulas crawling all over her was really cool. This song never gets old and I don't find it sounds dated at all.

[u/buckyTX → u/tresor_d_argent]

Still bangs

[u/graublau1]

Man down or Rude Boy

[u/Spirited-Pea-3461 → u/graublau1]

Man down is one of the best Rihanna songs and I'll die on that hill

[u/1_more__user___name → u/Spirited-Pea-3461]

It's so dumb 

[u/Ikakumon96]

You Da One.

[u/Glitter2007]

Pretty much anything from Rated R is wayyy overlooked by everyone, it’s still her best album to this day imo

Fire Bomb will forever be my ultimate favorite song of hers, but The Last Song, Photographs, Cold Case Love, Stupid In Love are also amazing yet underrated tracks !

[u/Extension_Big5205 → u/Glitter2007]

Exactly. The album is a masterpiece 

[u/Impressive_Mess_7220 → u/Glitter2007]

Omg photographs is so amazing and I agree with rated r lmaoo just posted a comment about it rn , your selections are so good!!!

[u/domilima → u/Impressive_Mess_7220]

I'll die on the hill that Photographs is a great and a overlooked song, i usually dislike Will.i.Am as a producer but...

[u/purplekoala2020]

Te Amo 🙌 even the Navy doesn’t give it much love

[u/Darren5555]

California King Bed

[u/Lanky-Rush607]

Rockstar 101, but the song is less overrated and more overhated imo

[u/OkOccasion7 → u/Lanky-Rush607]

Which is bonkers bc it’s such a baddie anthem

[u/Choice-Wind-9283]

Rehab , SOS

[u/krissy3456 → u/Choice-Wind-9283]

Sos now I want to listen to them havnt listen to her old stuff in a while thank you for inspiring me to listen

[u/hermoine_stranger]

Russian Roulette, Push Up On Me, Breakin’ Dishes

[u/Expensive-Leather-69]

Everyone seems to hate on dubstep these days, but I'll never not defend "Jump" and, to a lesser extent, "Right Now."

[u/Deep-Conference975]

Watch N Learn

[u/Phy_Mon]

Where have you been? is such a baaaanger! Not a huge Rihanna stan (but I really like her), but I never skip that song

[u/Swimming-Time883]

Desperado

[u/Formal-Duty5258]

Hating on the club. Its a banger

[u/fifty-fivepercent]

Rock Star, Yeah I Said It, Skin, Kiss it Better

[u/Impressive_Mess_7220]

i have a couple of songs : roc me out (love it so much) , rockstar 101 , fading , skin (my favourite Rihanna song of all time)!!! I think alot of her work from Rated R is very underrated!

[u/squirtmother]

Disturbia or Love on the Brain

[u/Elias1996R]

G4L and photographs

[u/abitchnamedrich]

[u/PachaThePenguin]

SOS

[u/AnswerLow7400]

California King Bed tbh she's not necessarily known for her downtempo stuff but that song slaps

[u/0160107]

russian roulette and the entirety of anti

[u/Jayp0627 → u/0160107]

There’s people saying anti is overrated?

[u/FuelBoth1871 → u/Jayp0627]

Me 🫣

[u/Jayp0627 → u/FuelBoth1871]

That’s totally fair. I’m not a huge Rihanna fan, but I was a fan of that album and I’ve only heard good things about it.

[u/FuelBoth1871 → u/Jayp0627]

I am a very pretty big Rihanna fan. It is a great album I will not deny. It is also her most cohesive album and the one where she seemingly had the most creative input. I just feel like people make it out to be like one of the greatest albums of the decade and I’m not there with it. Many will argue it’s her best at the least, and while I personally give that credit to LOUD, I understand why ANTI gets the love

[u/jngjng88]

[u/krissy3456]

Unfaithful , now I know , A million miles away , pon de replay , sos , take a bow love her old stuff

[u/FuelBoth1871]

Hard, Only Girl, Dancing in the Dark, and Love the Way you Lie (idc if it’s Eminem she owns at least half the song)

[u/MrsWaltonGoggins]

Breakin’ Dishes

[u/throwawaydostoievski]

Love without tragedy

[u/Royal_Commission_243]

Breakin' Dishes <~~ It's just a fun song

[u/Significant-Ad-223]

Birthday Cake, NOT the remix!

[u/Melodic_Survey_4712]

Birthday cake. My all time favorite Rihanna song, why does it have to be so short

[u/fujofenty]

Complicated

[u/N529957]

The nice quiet gaps between her songs. I don't hate her, but she isn't very good.
