besslyin: Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World)

"Only Girl (In the World)" is a song performed by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, taken from her fifth studio album, Loud. Written by Crystal Johnson, Star gate and Sandy Vee, with the latter two also handling production, the song was released from September 10, 2010, as the lead single from Loud. It is an up-tempo dominant dance-pop song which incorporates elements of Euro pop in its production and beats. Critical reception of the song has been largely positive, especially towards the strong chorus and musical production. Critics also complemented the choice and vocal work of Rihanna.

"Only Girl (In the World)" topped most charts around the world and was particularly successful in New Zea land and Australia, where it was respectively certified platinum and triple platinum. The track also topped the Billboard Hot 100 giving Rihanna her ninth number-one hit, which is more than any other artist since 2000. An accompanying music video for the song was filmed by regular collaborator Anthony Mandrel and uses simplistic theme mainly focusing on Rihanna with an array of artistic scenery and props. The dominant scenes feature Rihanna frolicking on a hillside. The single was performed live around the world including on series seven of The X Factor in the United Kingdom and at the 2010 American Music Awards in Los Angles. The song received a Grammy nomination in the Best Dance Recording category at 53rd Grammy Awards.
