As executive producer, Rihanna recorded ANTI with producers including Jeff Bhasker, Boi-1da, Mustard, Hit-Boy, Brian Kennedy, Timbaland and No I.D., at studios in Canada, the United States and France. SZA and Drake contribute guest vocals.
Compared to the radio-friendly dance tunes of her previous albums, ANTI is more muted and soulful. Its songs explore eclectic styles spanning pop, dancehall, alternative R&B, hip hop, soul, psychedelic, doo-wop and trap.
The artwork was designed by Israeli artist Roy Nachum, and was described by Rihanna as her "favorite album cover". The album's front cover shows an image of Rihanna, which was taken on her first day of day care, holding a black balloon, with a gold crown covering her eyes; the majority of the artwork is black and white with a "smattering" of red paint. Speaking about the cover art's concept, Nachum stated that he painted a young Rihanna to represent her "bringing something new" to music.
ANTI topped the list of 101 Best Albums of the 2010s by SPIN magazine, as well as being featured on the top 10 of Billboard's and NME's respective lists.
The album reached the summit of the Billboard 200 for 2 non-consecutive weeks. During its second week atop the chart, lead single "Work" topped the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, marking the second time Rihanna achieved the feat in her career.
As of 2022, it has received a triple platinum certification in the United States for 3,000,000 copies sold and 4.5 billion streams on Spotify.
Consideration
Rihanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time could never stop me, no, no, no, no
I know you try to
I come riding in on a pale white horse
Sending out his to less fortunate
I do advise you run it back, run it on back
When you're breaking it down for me
'Cause I can hear you two times
Run it on back, will it ever make sense to me?
I got to do things my own way darling
Will you ever let me? Will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way darling
You should just let me, why you will never let me grow?
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind oh
Let me cover your shit in glitter
I can make it gold, gold
Heard you're tryna sell your soul, baby
But I'm not sure, you're running low, lately
I needed you to please give my reflection a break
From the face it's seeing now
Ooh darling would you mind giving my reflection a break
From the pain it's feeling now?
I got to do things my own way darling
You should just let me, will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way darling
You should just let me why you will never let me grow
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind oh
Getting no peace
Getting no peace
Get, get, getting no peace oh
Getting no peace
(Get, get no peace oh)
The lyrics of "Consideration" by Rihanna Feat. SZA is a song about standing in your own power and refusing to be held back by others. The singer proclaims their self-assurance and their intent to do things their own way without the permission or approval of others. The line "I come fluttering in from Neverland" is a reference to the story of Peter Pan, who was able to fly because he refused to grow up and conform to societal expectations. The singer is implying that they also refuse to conform and will always remain free and true to themselves.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of glitter and gold, which represents the facade of success and materialism. The singer declares that they can cover anything in glitter and make it seem like it's worth its weight in gold. This can be interpreted as a commentary on the superficiality of society and how people often focus on appearances rather than substance.
The line "When I look outside my window, I can't get no peace of mind" suggests that the singer is constantly bombarded with external pressures and distractions that make it difficult for them to focus on their own path. They are seeking a break from the noise and chaos of the outside world in order to gain clarity and find their own peace.
Overall, the lyrics of "Consideration" empower listeners to be authentic and unapologetic in their pursuit of happiness and success.

I come fluttering in from Neverland
I've arrived in a carefree and adventurous manner
Time could never stop me, no, no, no, no
I'm unstoppable, unstoppable, unstoppable
I know you try to
I know you're trying to hold me back
I come riding in on a pale white horse
I enter dramatically on a noble steed
Sending out his to less fortunate
I'm helping those in need
I do advise you run it back, run it on back
I suggest you reconsider and reflect on what you're saying
When you're breaking it down for me
When you're explaining it to me
'Cause I can hear you two times
Because I hear you repeating yourself
Run it on back, will it ever make sense to me?
Can you explain it to me in a way that I can understand?
I got to do things my own way darling
I have to do things the way I want to, my love
Will you ever let me? Will you ever respect me? No
Will you ever allow me to be myself? Will you ever show me respect? No
Do things my own way darling
I need to do things on my own, my love
You should just let me, why you will never let me grow?
You should let me be, why won't you allow me to mature and evolve?
When I look outside my window
When I reflect on my life
I can't get no peace of mind
I can't find any inner peace
Let me cover your shit in glitter
Let me make your problems appear less severe
I can make it gold, gold
I can make it seem luxurious and valuable
Heard you're tryna sell your soul, baby
I heard you're compromising your integrity, my dear
But I'm not sure, you're running low, lately
But lately, I'm not sure you have much left to give
I needed you to please give my reflection a break
I need you to stop reflecting my insecurities back at me
From the face it's seeing now
From the version of myself I currently see
Ooh darling would you mind giving my reflection a break
Could you please help me feel better about myself
From the pain it's feeling now?
From the emotional suffering I'm experiencing currently?
Getting no peace
I can't find any peace
Getting no peace
I can't find any peace
Get, get, getting no peace oh
I can't seem to find any peace at all
Getting no peace
I can't find any peace
(Get, get no peace oh)
(I can't seem to find any peace at all)
