Barbadian superstar Rihanna goes ahead with the promotion of her new album “Anti”.
While “Work” is still the No. 1 song on the Hot 100, she’s now also pushing her latest single “Needed Me” with a new violent, dark video.
Directed by Harmony Korine, who most recently directed “Spring breakers” movie, the clip features lots of smoking, guns, and slow-motion shots of people in clubs.
Korine has previously directed videos for the Black Keys, Sonic Youth, Cat Power, and others.
Soon after releasing Anti, Rihanna embarked on her Anti World Tour. The tour will run through early May in North America before she spends her summer in Europe.
Lyrics:
Mustard on the beat, ho!
I was good on my own, that’s the way it was, that’s the way it was
You was good on the low for a faded fuck, on some faded love
Shit, what the fuck you complaining for?
Feeling jaded, huh?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin’ to you
Had some fun on the run though I give it to you
But, baby, don’t get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn’t they tell you that I was a savage?
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you you could have it
You needed me
Ooh, you needed me
Feel a little more and give a little less
Know you hate to confess
But, baby, who, you needed me
You been rollin’ around, shit, I’m rolling up
Light and roll it up
Break it down like a pound, shit was never us
Shit was never us
That’s the real on the real. Are you serious?
How you feel, how you feel?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin’ to you
Had some fun on the run though, I give it to you
But, baby, don’t get it twisted (don’t get)
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn’t they tell you that I was a savage?
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you you could have it
You needed me
Ooh, you needed me
To feel a little more and give a little less
Know you hate to confess
But, baby, who, you needed me
