Rivera was signed to Columbia Records as a solo musical artist in 2011 and—despite never releasing a studio album—released a single, "Sorry", featuring rapper Big Sean, in 2013. On film, Rivera made her debut as Vera in the horror film At the Devil's Door (2014) before playing a supporting role in the comedy film Mad Families (2017). Her personal life garnered significant press and media attention throughout her career. In 2016, she published a memoir titled Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up.
On July 8, 2020, Rivera was declared a missing person after her four-year-old son, Josey, was found alone in Rivera's rented BoAt at Lake Piru, near Santa Clarita, California. Her body was recovered from the lake on the morning of July 13 following a five-day search.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I've been rolling round, shut it down, lady
Bagged him up, now he's my baby
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
S-O-R-R-Y, S-O-R-R-Y
Yeah you had your fun, now it's done, crazy
I don't really know much about ya
But it's clear you know my name
So I guess all I can tell ya
Is that I don't have much to say
If you used to be the one
Well I don't know shit about it
I don't know shit about it
But I know you mad about it
He loves the way I put it down
Starstruck on what he found
You wishin' that it played out different
Yeah I know it sucks girl
I'm so...
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Cause I've been rolling round, shut it down, lady
Bagged him up, now he's my baby
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
S-O-R-R-Y, S-O-R-R-Y
Yeah you had your fun, now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
Now you showin' up at his house
Looking like a hot mess, honey
I think it's time for you to cut it out
Tryin' save you from looking funny
I guess until you find somebody
You're a hashtag and pity party
Party, party, party, party
All I gotta say is, I'm so...
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Cause I've been rolling round, shut it down, lady
Bagged him up, now he's my baby
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
You are now rolling with the all-time high, never satisfied
Forever getting paid off what money can't buy
Oh, always in the streets you'd a thought I scared of heights
Oh, my girl so fine that you scared to tell her "hi"
She a all-around ten like a high five
And we ain't fall in love, we skydive
I always get off when she's on, she's there
I'm gone, I call her "fine", she call me "Sean"
And I love 'em quarter G, quarter freak
Quarter Puerto Ric, quarter sweet
Hono-lu-lu-lu out on the beach
South of France me and my Mona Lis
Bon appétit, mon amie
Yeah I know it sucks girl
I'm so....
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Cause I've been rolling round, shut it down, lady
Bagged him up, now he's my baby
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy
Lookin' at his number one lady
Amber, Brittany, Tiffany
Sorry he belongs to me
Heather, Ashley, Stephanie
It just wasn't meant to be, sorry
The song "Sorry" by Naya Rivera is a fierce and unapologetic response to a woman who is upset about losing her man to Naya. The song starts with Naya proclaiming that she's not sorry for taking the man away. She then talks to the woman, stating that she doesn't know much about her, but it's clear that she knows Naya's name. Naya then proclaims that she loves the way she puts it down, and he loves her too. The woman is clearly upset because she is showing up at his house looking like a "hot mess," and Naya advises her to cut it out. Naya then finishes the song by listing off all the women who he belongs to: Amber, Brittany, Tiffany, Heather, Ashley, Stephanie, and then concludes saying "Sorry, He belongs to me."
The lyrics of the song are bold, unapologetic, and confident. Rivera is very clear with her message that she did nothing wrong and is not sorry for her actions. The song addresses infidelity and jealousy, and it seems that Naya is not interested in hearing excuses from the other woman. She believes that she is the better woman for him.

Sorry
I don't really know much about ya
I don’t know much about you
But it's clear you know my name
You seem to know me
So I guess all I can tell ya
I have nothing much to say
Is that I don't have much to say
I don’t have much to say
If you used to be the one
If you were the one he dated before
Well I don't know shit about it
I don't have any information about it
But I know you mad about it
But I know you are angry about it
He loves the way I put it down
He loves the way I perform
Starstruck on what he found
He is impressed by me
You wishin' that it played out different
You are wishing things were different
Now you showin' up at his house
You are now visiting his home
Looking like a hot mess, honey
You appear disheveled
I think it's time for you to cut it out
I suggest you stop doing this
Tryin' save you from looking funny
I am trying to spare you from embarrassment
I guess until you find somebody
Until you find someone else
You're a hashtag and pity party
You are talking about it online and seeking sympathy
You are now rolling with the all-time high, never satisfied
I am high on life and constantly seeking more
Forever getting paid off what money can't buy
I am being rewarded for things money can't buy
Oh, always in the streets you'd a thought I scared of heights
I spend a lot of time outside, and I seem fearless
Oh, my girl so fine that you scared to tell her "hi"
My girl is so attractive that you are too intimidated to speak to her
She a all-around ten like a high five
She is an excellent individual
And we ain't fall in love, we skydive
Our love is adventurous
I always get off when she's on, she's there
I feel good in her presence
I'm gone, I call her "fine", she call me "Sean"
I tell her complimenting things and she calls me by my name
And I love 'em quarter G, quarter freak
And I love them mixed race, part wild
Quarter Puerto Ric, quarter sweet
Part Puerto Rican, part sweet
Hono-lu-lu-lu out on the beach
Honolulu beach
South of France me and my Mona Lis
In the south of France with my beautiful woman
Bon appétit, mon amie
Enjoy your meal, my friend
Amber, Brittany, Tiffany
Names of people who couldn't stay with him
Sorry he belongs to me
He is with me now
Heather, Ashley, Stephanie
Names of people who couldn't be with him
It just wasn't meant to be, sorry
Our relationship was meant to be

This is so unfair, she was so young, so much potential, so much talent, her unique smooth voice. She is a star. I still cant believe this, I wanted her to be even more recognize for her voice and incredible talent. Oh Naya...you are so missed. Now you continue being a star in another form.

A candle that shines brighter burns faster. Fast line, fast live. A shame. You need to be careful when you make it. There is always something else that can bring you down. Never be careless.
