The LP spawned seven singles, three of which topped the charts both Stateside and overseas as party anthems: “Only Girl (In the World),” “What’s My Name?”, and “S&M.” Rihanna wasn’t new to crafting dance-driven hits (see 2006’s “SOS” and 2007’s “Don’t Stop the Music”). The album’s unofficial theme is liberation, with the singer dyeing her hair a striking red that perfectly embodied the attention-grabbing energy that catapulted her into full-fledged pop-star status with unshakable international dominance. She told producers Stargate at the time of recording that she wanted to go back to having fun and making happy, uptempo records. After navigating a highly publicized dark period, Rihanna re-emerged as vibrant as ever with her fifth album.
