Overall Meaning

In her 2010 hit "Rude Boy," Rihanna is singing about her desire for a man who is confident and willing to take charge. She repeatedly asks "Can you get it up?" and "Is you big enough?" to gauge his capabilities. She is willing to let him take control and be the captain, rider, and do his thing, but she also wants him to fulfill her desires. Throughout the song, Rihanna sends the message that she wants her partner to be more aggressive and rough with her, as she says, "Take it, take it," and "Do you like it, boy?" She expresses her love for when he touches her, pulls her hair, and tells her what to do, and she wants him to show her what he's got.


Overall, the song is a playful yet sexually explicit invitation to explore physical pleasure in a more dominant-submissive dynamic. The use of the phrase "rude boy" also references Jamaican culture and its association with toughness and boldness, adding to the song's overall message of being confident and aggressive in pursuing physical pleasure.
