The lyrics of Rihanna's song "Only Girl" are centered around wanting to feel loved and desired by someone. The opening lines of the chorus, "Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world" emphasize the need to be the center of that person's attention and affection. She goes on to express a desire to be taken care of and made to feel like a priority with lines like "Hold me like a pillow, make me feel right." Throughout the song, Rihanna asserts her command by saying she's the only one who understands how to make her partner feel like a man. Overall, the song is about feeling empowered and in control in a romantic relationship.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written by a team of writers, including Crystal Johnson, Mikkel S. Eriksen, and Tor Erik Hermansen. The song was also produced by Stargate, who have worked with other popular artists such as Beyoncé, Selena Gomez, and Lady Gaga. "Only Girl" was released as the lead single from Rihanna's fifth studio album "Loud" in 2010 and quickly became a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in multiple countries.
Another notable fact about the song is that it marked a change in Rihanna's style and image. Before the release of "Only Girl," Rihanna was known for her darker and edgier music and fashion choices, but with this song, she introduced a new, more colorful and vibrant image. Many fans and critics saw this shift as a deliberate attempt to distance herself from the traumatic experience of being physically assaulted by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009.
"Only Girl" has been covered and remixed by several other artists, including Glee star Dianna Agron, who released her own version of the song in 2011. The song has also been featured in several movies and TV shows, including the 2015 film "Pitch Perfect 2" and an episode of the Netflix series "Sense8."
