Background

In June 2010, it was revealed that Rihanna was planning to release the fifth studio album soon.[6] Singers, songwriters and producers Taio Cruz,[7] Alex da Kid,[8] Sean Garrett,[9] Ne-Yo,[10] Rico Love, Timbaland,[11] Shontelle,[12] David Guetta,[13] and Drake[14] worked on the album. "I'm gonna miss the Rated R era too, but nothing compares to the album I just made," Rihanna said, adding,"I made sure not to let you down with my music. You guys are always defending me, so now you’ve got some great songs to justify it. I didn’t want to go backward and remake Good Girl Gone Bad. I wanted the next step in the evolution of Rihanna, and it’s perfect for us".[4] In early September 2010, she announced that the album would be called, Loud saying that "get Loud everybody, get crazy, get excited, because I'm pumped. I'm just gonna be me, because that's what you guys love the most, and that's what makes me feel best. Just being normal, normal for me is Loud! Sassy, fun, flirty, energetic."[4] While Rihanna was on set filming for the movie Battleship, she explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "Loud is, the word, the name of the album definitely reflects the attitude of it, it’s really sassy and flirty and it grabs your attention and that’s why I enjoy it. It takes you through a really really interesting ride. So colorful the album.” [15] The cover of the album was revealed on September 28, 2010.[16]

Music and lyrics

Tracks have been penned by Shontelle,[17] Ester Dean[18] and Nicki Minaj.[19] Stargate produced fizzing synths, club beats and sing-along chants featured heavily, with three songs on the album, "Only Girl (In the World)", "What's My Name?" and "S&M". "Cheers", which Rihanna also referred to by its working title, "Drink It Up", is a funky, loping guitar groove dedicated to a night on the town and interpolates Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You". "California King (Bed)" is a strummed, acoustic ballad.[20] "S&M" is the loudest track on the album.[5] Rihanna described "Raining Men" as "a really fun song. Nothing like the original. It's quite uptempo but kind of quirky and funny."[19] Rihanna and Drake have described their duet, a remix to "What's My Name" as a "young" and "playful" track.[21]
