She's shooting a video for this song this week. I'm not sure it's the second single, the Urban single or what.

Clip of her filming the video: www.twitvid.com/SCPA6Sounds HOT. I'm glad it's not another generic dance song. |

I bet this'll be the "Rude Boy" of the album.

I need to hear the hook, but what I can discern of the melody and production make this promising.

She said there will be a remix for Drake and they might shoot video for it.

Rihanna Calls Drake The 'Only Person' For 'What's My Name' Remix
'Drake is the hottest rapper out right now,' singer tells Billboard.
By Mawuse Ziegbe (@mawuseziegbe)
Rihanna and Drake's collaboration on the remix of "What's My Name" wasn't one of those studies in industry politics where labels wrangle two stars for the sake of an on-trend hit. Instead, Rihanna personally invited Drake to jump on the track, which is slated to appear as a bonus cut on her upcoming release, Loud.
"She played the record to Drake backstage somewhere to try to get him on a verse," Stargate producer Tor Erik Hermansen, who has worked with the singer on her forthcoming fifth LP, told Billboard magazine. "She's calling me up saying, 'Where are the files?' That's one thing you don't hear often from artists on her level."
The "Only Girl (In the World)" singer explained that she and Drizzy had been attempting to team up for a while and that she wanted Drake's signature swagger for the track.
"Drake is the hottest rapper out right now and we've always been trying to work together," she said. "He's the only person I thought could really understand the melody of the song, and the minute he heard it he said, 'I know exactly what I'm going to do. I love it.' And he did it like three days later."
Both stars have been fairly stingy with details but Rihanna has described the track as "young" and "playful." The now flame-haired songstress has also hinted that she and Drake may take their collaboration to the screen and shoot a video.
As far as the sonic vibe for the rest of Loud, Rihanna has dished that the album will "exude the energy and space I'm in right now. That's what I always try and do with my music. Right now in my life I feel very loud and in charge of my life and I can't wait for everyone to hear the new album. It has such a variety of sounds, but it all makes sense for this album."

Leaked. Produced by Stargate, written by Ester Dean.
This is really good. It's like a relaxed "Rude Boy,"

I like this, not more than Only Girl though. I wish Drake was left off of it.

Love this. The production's really hot and lends a great wintery feel to the song. Drake's verse is take-it-or-leave-it for me.

I don't know, but I'm not liking this at all.
Drake's part is definitely the worst part of the song.

This wouldn't've even been considered for single if it wasn't for Drake's feature, and his feature is far and away the worst part. I could see this going Top 10, but no one will remember it in a year.

This is a quickfixx, but I like the melody, the bridge bothers me cause it comes out of nowhere AND is typical Stargate  |

I like the production, but the song is kind of blah.
And Drake sucks on this.

I don't feel like she's putting out big enough music to reflect how big of a star she is.

I agree, I absolutely love it now. I still hate Drake on this though, he sounds like a f**king idiot. I need an edit without him. |

I really like this. It's like a poppier, more upbeat "Rude Boy."

Why are they sending this for adds so soon? I love this and want it to be a hit, but "Only Girl" still has a monstrous bullet and is still almost a month from peaking.
No matter, I guess. Z100, KIIS, Amp/LA, Movin'/San Fran, WFLZ and Q102 all added it this week.

"Only Girl" is too gender-insensitive to be a massive hit. This could end up being more universal.
