The-Dream told The Boombox that he "was more called in to fill in the blanks" on the album. He went on to explain that songwriter Ester Dean, who contributed to eight tracks on the record, "is locked in to what Rihanna's doing at this particular moment," and he's "at a place where you can call me in as a songwriter, but Ri calls me in as a friend that's going to make an unbiased decision, not just because I'm trying to get on the record."

Boy what I'm feeling never feel it about another
I need you, why can't you come over?
And you my lover, but I love you like a brother
Baby don't want at the end of the day
You are who you are and I love you that way
Lasting love, if you know the difference
You had a little game on ya, caught up in your feelings
You know that I'ma do whatever I'm not gon' leave
This kind of love don't come easy
We don't care what they think, babe
Promise we'll stay the same
Say that you stay right here for me
See I know you like being round chicks
And looking at hips, and a little outfit
What can I say
That's what I love about you babe
Yeah don't mess, cause I know you gon' lie
You way too sexy, to ever be shy
What did I say
That's what I love about you babe
Do ya thang, do ya thang, do ya thang

Middle of the day give me what I want
It feels so special, it feels so good
And he ain't going no where even if he could
I got that ow, ow
You know what I'm talking about bout
Make a nigga scream and shout, shout
Every time my legs go out, out

You know that I'mma do whatever I'm not gon' leave
This kind of love don't come easy
Fuck what you think, babe
Promise we'll stay the same
Say that you stay right here for me
See I know you like being round chicks
And looking at hips, and a little outfit
What can I say?
That's what I love about you babe
Yeah don't mess, cause I know you gon' lie
You way too sexy, to ever be shy
