Rihanna man down Production Trivia:
The song is a notable departure from the pop-dance sound of the early 2010s, leaning heavily into Rihanna’s island roots. Interestingly, while the song sounds like it was recorded in Barbados, the production actually came together during a “writing camp” in Los Angeles, where the label gathered top producers to create a specific sound for her album Loud.
