Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)" was a definitive dance-pop statement from late 2010, a maximalist Europop-influenced track that showcased her vocal power and command of the charts. It marked a return to a more club-focused sound after the R&B leanings of 'Rated R'.
- The single was co-written by Crystal Johnson, Sandy Wilhelm, and Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen of the Norwegian production duo StarGate.
- "Only Girl (In the World)" reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and number three on the US Billboard Hot 100.
- The song's music video, directed by Marcus Adams, was filmed in a landscape that resembled a desert, juxtaposing Rihanna's vibrant presence with the arid surroundings.
Rihanna is a Barbadian pop and R&B singer who achieved global superstardom in the mid-2000s with a string of hit singles and albums. In 2010, she was already a dominant force in contemporary pop music, having released several multi-platinum albums and charting numerous Top 10 hits.
