FourFiveSeconds
Rihanna Lyrics
I think I've had enough
I might get a little drunk
I say what's on my mind
I might do a little time
'Cause all of my kindness
Is taken for weakness
Now I'm FourFiveSeconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
Ooh, that's all I want
Woke up an optimist
Sun was shinin', I'm positive (we can run, run)
Then I heard you was talkin' trash (I bought a mystery)
Hold me back, I'm 'bout to spaz
Yeah, I'm 'bout FourFiveSeconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear I wish somebody would try me
Ooh, that's all I want
And I know that you're up tonight
Thinkin', "How could I be so selfish?"
But you called 'bout a thousand times
Wonderin' where I've been
Now I know that you're up tonight
Thinkin' "How could I be so reckless?" (Ha)
But I just can't apologize
I hope you can understand, yeah
If I go to jail tonight
Promise you'll pay my bail
See they want to buy my pride
But that just ain't up for sale
See all of my kindness, mhm
Is taken for weakness
Now I'm FourFiveSeconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear I wish somebody would tell me
Ooh, that's all I want
Fourfiveseconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
Just tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear I wish somebody would tell me
Yeah, that's all I want

“FourFiveSeconds” features vocals by Rihanna and Kanye West, and instrumentals by Sir Paul McCartney. It has earned praise for its minimalist instrumentals, which include acoustic guitar, cello, and organ, and for blending pop, hip-hop, country, and folk — an unprecedented mash-up for all three performers.
It was expected to be on her eighth album ANTI, but was not included. The album art for the single reads “Four Five Seconds” in Braille.

It was expected to be on her eighth album ANTI, but was not included. The album art for the single reads “Four Five Seconds” in Braille.
In an interview with V Magazine, Rihanna said she was attracted to the song because of the tension between its sound and its lyrical content:
"When you read the lyrics it’s a completely different song than what you are hearing. The music is easygoing, but the lyrical content is very loud and in your face."
Kanye has compared Rihanna’s vocals on the track to those of Scottish singer Annie Lennox (“the greatest white soul singer alive,” according to VH1).
The song peaked at number four on the Hot 100, becoming Rihanna’s 26th top ten song, McCartney’s 23rd (not counting his 34 with the Beatles), and West’s 15th. McCartney now holds the record for longest time between top ten hits, with 29 years between “FourFiveSeconds” and “Spies Like Us”, which charted on February 8th, 1986.

(with Kanye West & Paul McCartney)
I think I've had enough
I might get a little drunk
I say what's on my mind
I might do a little time
'Cause all of my kindness
Is taken for weakness
Now I'm four, five seconds from wilding
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday morning
I swear I wish somebody would tell me
Ooh, that's all I want
Woke up an optimist
Sun was shining, I'm positive
We can run
Then I heard you was talking trash
I'm on a mystery
Hold me back, I'm 'bout to spaz
Yeah, I'm 'bout four, five seconds from wilding
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm tryna make it back home by Monday morning
I swear I wish somebody would try me
Ooh, that's all I want
And I know that you're up tonight
Thinking, "How could I be so selfish?"

I swear I wish somebody would tell me
'Cause that's all I want

I think my favorite thing about this song/video is that all those pretentious people who think they're above everybody else for not liking today's music bc they have their dads Beatles poster in their room have to sit in conflict knowing that Paul McCartney himself thinks Kanye and Rihanna are the dope artists that they are and together they made an awesome song.

The fact that music has turned into something where a modern pop star can collab with a Beatle and a generational rapper just makes me so happy

Elton John's recent work is a great example of this as well, I absolutely LOOOOOOOVE his little anime characters of himself too haha he seems to be having a lot of fun with 2021 aethestics.
