The most aggressive track on the album. Distorted bass and a cold, detached vocal delivery. Rihanna sounds menacing. In the flow, "Woo" is the hangover after "Desperado"—the moment you stop running and start fighting. Rihanna - ANTI -Deluxe- -2016-Album-

Released in January 2016, ’s eighth studio album, ANTI , stands as her most experimental and critically acclaimed work, marking a definitive pivot from "singles-driven pop star" to "album-oriented artist". Rihanna sounds menacing

The album’s most celebrated and controversial track, “Work” (featuring Drake), epitomizes this tension. On the surface, it was a massive radio hit, propelled by its infectious, patois-laden hook. But beneath the dancehall groove lies a song about failed communication, emotional labor, and the frustration of a love that demands constant effort without genuine connection. Rihanna repeats “Work, work, work, work, work” not as a celebratory chant but as an exhausted sigh. It is a pop song that sounds like a plea. Similarly, the deluxe edition’s inclusion of “Pose” (a brash, minimalist anthem of self-assurance) and the desolate “Sex with Me” shows that Rihanna was less interested in curating a seamless listening experience than in capturing the full, contradictory spectrum of her personality.

A sultry, trap-soul slow jam. It’s minimalist and explicit. Rihanna compares herself to a pill ("Take me like a drug"), and the song feels like 3 AM in an empty mansion.
