The album also incorporates elements of dancehall and rock, as well as ballads, which music critics were ambivalent towards.
Some critics gave the album positive reviews, stating that Rihanna gracefully avoided the sophomore disappointment while others compared the album to her previous effort. A Girl like Me was released less than eight months after Rihanna's debut album. It peaked at number five on the US Billboard 200 and on the UK Albums Chart. The album was successful in other countries as well, entering the top ten in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan, while topping the Canadian Albums Chart.
A Girl like Me spawned four singles: "SOS", which became Rihanna's first single to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, "Unfaithful" and "Break It Off", both reaching the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100. However, the album's third single, "We Ride", failed to reprise the success of the album's other singles. The album was re-released as an expanded two-disc deluxe package in Germany, which includes remixes to both Rihanna's debut single, "Pon de Replay", and "If It's Lovin' that You Want". The album has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). To promote both A Girl Like Me and her debut record, Rihanna embarked on her debut headlining concert tour, entitled Rihanna: Live in Concert in 2006.

Rihanna Lyrics
La la la, la la la, la la la la la, oh
You know I've never felt like this before
La la la, la la la, la la la la la, oh
This feels like so unreal
I'm obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
And I'm aggressive just one thought of closing up
You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue
'Cause every moment gone you know I miss you
I'm the question, and you're of course the answer
Just hold me close, boy, 'cause I'm your tiny dancer
You make me shaken up, never mistaken
But I can't control myself, got me calling out for help
S.O.S., please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y.O.U. are making this hard
I can't take it, see it don't feel right
S.O.S. please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin', can't sleep at night
This time, please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Love is testing me, but still I'm losing it
This time, please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me
Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it
Just your presence, and I second guess my sanity
Yes, it's a lesson, it's based on my vanity
My tummy's up in knots, as I see you get so hot
Common sense is out the door, can't seem to find a lot
Take a minute, you know inside you feel it right
Take me home, I put desire in your arms tonight
I'm out with you, ya got me head over heels
Boy, you keep me hanging on, the way you make me feel
S.O.S., please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin', I can't sleep at night
This time, please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Love is testing me, but still I'm losing it
This time, please someone come and rescue me (someone come and rescue me)
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me
Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it
Boy, you know you got me feeling open
And, boy, your love's enough with words unspoken
I said, boy; I'm telling you, you got me open
I don't know what to do, it's true
I'm going crazy over you, I'm begging
S.O.S., please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y.O.U. are making this hard (why you makin' this hard for me baby)
You got me tossin' and turnin', I can't sleep at night
This time, please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Love is testing me, but still I'm losing it
This time, please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it (all of the time)
I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me
Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it
La la la, la la la, la la, oh
Oh oh, la la la, la la la, la la, oh oh

[Intro]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, oh
(You know, I've never felt like this before) Oh, oh
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, oh
(This feeling's like... so real) Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
I'm obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
And I'm aggressive, just one thought ain't close enough
You got me stressin', incessantly pressin' the issue
'Cause every moment gone, you know I miss you
I'm the question and you're of course the answer
Just hold me close boy, 'cause I'm your tiny dancer
You make me shaken, I'm never mistaken
But I can't control myself, got me callin' out for help
[Chorus]
S-O-S, please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y-O-U are makin' this hard
I can't take it, see, it don't feel right
S-O-S, please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y-O-U are makin' this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin', can't sleep at night
[Interlude]
This time please, someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losin' it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Love is testin' me, but still, I'm losin' it
This time please, someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losin' it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Got the best of me, so now I'm losin' it
[Verse 2]
Just your presence and I second guess my sanity
Yes, it's a lesson, it's unfair, you stole my vanity
My tummy's up in knots and when I see you, it gets so hot
My common sense is out the door, can't seem to find the lock
Take on me (Uh-huh), you know inside you feel it right
Take me on, I could just die up in your arms tonight
I melt with you, you got me head over heels (Over heels)
Boy, you keep me hangin' on, the way you make me feel
[Chorus]
S-O-S, please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y-O-U are makin' this hard (Y-O-U are)
You got me tossin' and turnin', can't sleep at night
[Interlude]
This time please, someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losin' it ('Cause you on my mind)
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Love is testin' me, but still, I'm losin' it
This time please, someone come and rescue me (Someone come and rescue me)
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losin' it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Got the best of me, so now I'm losin' it
[Bridge]
Boy, you know you got me feelin' open
And boy, your love's enough with words unspoken
I said boy, I'm tellin' you, you got me open
I don't know what to do, it's true
I'm goin' crazy over you, I'm beggin'
[Chorus]
S-O-S, please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y-O-U are makin' this hard (Why you makin' this hard for me, baby?)
You got me tossing and turning, can't sleep at night
This time please, someone come and rescue me (Someone rescue me)
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losin' it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Love is testin' me, but still, I'm losin' it
[Interlude]
This time please, someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losin' it (All of the time)
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Got the best of me, so now I'm losin' it (Best of me, I'm losin' it )

For those of you who are saying eighteen, that's wrong. She was seventeen when it was recorded and released. SOS was recorded in '05 and released in February '06, on the 13th to be exact. It was released a week end before she turned eighteen. Lastly, the music video is filmed before it's released on YouTube. Anyways, she was seventeen throughout this whole process of the song.
boppity hoppity
