She's not in my studio yet but hopefully I'll have some hot ones on her album."2012年7月17日，据报道 Rihanna 将与 R&B 歌手 Ne-Yo 和 N-Dubz 的成员 Fazer 合作. 在 Capital FM 对 Ne-Yo 的一次访问中，Ne-Yo 提到了与Rihanna 的合作， "I just recently went in to do some stuff for Rihanna, you know. She’s the hardest working woman in showbiz right now. She’s in the process of putting together a new album as we speak, I got in with StarGate and David Guetta and a few other people for that project.（我最近才开始为 Rihanna 做些事情，要知道，她现在是娱乐界工作最努力的女性。就像我们说的那样，她现在正在整合一张新专辑，我与 StarGate 和 David Guetta还有其他几个人正致力于此。）

He finds inspiration in the things I don't like, and I get excited by the things he doesn't like. He wants to be more urban and I want to be more international, so we push each other, I try to help Rihanna. She works hard and it's cool to write for someone who is so open-minded.（我最近正和 David 在录音室为 Rihanna 的东西忙碌着。他能在我不喜欢的东西上找到灵感，我在他讨厌的东西上找到兴奋点。他希望能更加都市化而我想更国际化，所以我们互相促进。我尝试着给 Rihanna 带来帮助。她工作确实努力，而给如此虚心的人写歌是非常酷的一件事情。）" 2012年8月21日， 美国作词者 Claude Kelly 透露在 Rihanna 进行伦敦演出的同时他在为 Rihanna 写歌 ， "Rihanna's a worldwide superstar at this point and she's performing in stadiums and arenas now, so I wanted songs that reflected her audience, when I was in London she was performing at a festival in front of like 30,000 to 40,000 people. So I didn't want small songs that only worked on radio, so I tried to do anthemic big stadium-themed songs."

A couple of weeks ago I was doing some writing for Rihanna". 2012年9月, Ne-Yo 确认他参与了这张专辑的制作， “I did go in the studio with her, I know I got one or two on the album that she’s definitely keeping.”
