It’s here!
Rihanna and Calvin Harris have unleashed the video for their smash hit single ‘This Is What You Came For.’
The cut reunites the ‘We Found Love’ collaborators and has enjoyed immense success in doing so – reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 in the UK.
In a bid to push the track even higher and cement it as a club staple, its accompanying visual makes a direct bid to the dance crowd. Strobe lighting and all.
Check out the Emil Nava directed clip after the jump…
Ever get the feeling that an act just rolled out of bed and landed on set?
We certainly did when watching this.
As a performer, Rihanna is far from a workhorse. Quite the contrary. But, even still, we expected much more than tired twirls and occasional smizing.
It’s not a rule of thumb, but surely a Dance video should feature some degree of actual dancing?
Instead, we’re rewarded with four minutes of nothing – which ultimately relays a “look, I’m on tour and we have an hour to shoot this ish.”
Minimal effort from a a star capable of more. Pretty much a normal day at the office for RiRi, then.

So fine! #AnotherOne
Alongside the video streams, this song will be number one in the next two weeks.
The video is okay — nothing captivating.
Dope song ??
Rihanna look georgous ??
But the video as nothing special & what the hell did she wear. Glitter trash bag ??! ?
Still gona stream that song all summer ☀️
Call me when the loose haux actually manages to sell an album coz bitcch don’t nobody got time for this generic dated mess. F for effort though.
But Nicki can’t either so your point is what??
Rihanna has 7 platinum albums Nicki only has 1
how many does selena have?
All 3 album are multi Platinum ?
When last nicki had a hit her ass skin breast her whole being is f****** generic b****
B**** not F for effort ???
The sruggleprint couldnt even sell a million copies. Anti outsold it worldwide.
A plastic minaj fan talking about generic songs is hilarious. What is Anaconda, Starships etc? And those corny songs she still couldn’t go #1
The question was how many are Platinum not how much they have sell ?
Prob will go to number one but Rihanna couldve danced a little not just stand there but it’s not her song
Why people thing black people must always be dancing.?the video is not her vision its the director and Calvin’s vision
she did what they ask of her
Queen fenty ain’t dulling at all.Love you babes
This girl is in this business just for money and fame. Such a disgrace
That is why some girls in the industry will never be taken seriously as a “Talent”. Nonetheless Rihanna is a hustler and she works hard for her fame a& money!
So true you are only considered talented when you steal other people’s songs, vision and creativity and passing it over like you are a true artist. You only are considered talented when you enlisted 482886345 song writers for you album, that was supposed to be your own personal thoughts about your love life.
Breaking records and becoming a music icon is such a disgrace right haha #hater #ririwins
I 2nd That ????????
And what do you think the other artist in it for w**** she has a fanbase b**** if u don’t like her music then put your money if you have any been that u sound broke jealous welfare Recepient
She’s in the music business, WTF is she supposed to be in it for? KIIIII
Meh
It fit the song perfectly, boring, bland, and generic. She looked pretty, i guess….
You described Nickis discography perfectly sis.
Considering how dull and generic the song is you would think the video would be fire yet it’s even more dull and generic than the song. Of course the kids will love it cuz the trasher the songs the better they sell.
If only that rule applies to albums maybe the girls wouldn’t need to get some companies to buy their albums and at least go gold in SALES
Umm….. *plays formation*
Yes Phaggot plays the song that launched a national debate from the general public to the highest officials of the government.
My fave ain’t got no time for some dumb 2011 EDM leftover that will go number #1 in every charts but will be forgotten in 2 months and leave zero impact whatsoever
More like utilize black lives for self.
Big fan but the video sucked…Please don’t bring Bey’s tired ass name up in another Rih post until she gets another hit, or even top 10. Thanks!
She just got a top 10 with a song that was free for 3 months prior to release. You should leave the Queen’s name out of ur mouth or at least until Flopti sells 500k in the US
Lil gul bye, you know Beyonce tired. Queens sell out stadiums and go #1!
And anti is still in the top 10 after giving out a million+ for free. The beehive loves to down play that.
I seriously don’t get the hype with riri she’s all about generic singles. No emotion,depth,artistry but just a basic and talentless singles artist who unfortunately believes her own hype
Lol another hate post from Sam the H**+ f**
Cute, But its lacking something. The song itself doesnt have the same impact that their other collabs have had in past years
“Everybody watching her, but no one’s checking for you you you, you you ooh. You you you…”
you would say some gay ass s*** like that
You better pray I don’t become president José
Oop! Pablo ran away. #BuildTheWall lol
You guys are disgusting. How are you going to say racist things like that when white people look at all people of color the damn same? If we find it wrong for people to say racist things about us being black, why would you find it ok to attack another race of people who are at a disadvantage in this country as well? Joking or not, that’s not funny or ok
@king fąg continue to out yourself with these drag queen sayings your Rogue by Rihanna wearing ass loves to repeat. I don’t even say “oop” but you sure do
Beautiful!!!!
Legend Rihanna, the slayage in this video so effortlessly,not Beyonce try hard ass gyrating with the same weave for more than 15years. Rihanna knows how switch things up from music to fashion. Queen of versatility.
Abeg now, not a nigerian. I bet AfroCinema got you so stupid, if you think Rihanna is a legend.
She looks beautiful. Hate the song tho.
Rih is def one of the prettiest girls in the world… Big forehead and all
The gays are gonna eat this s*** ass up!!!
Is it safe to say Bey inspired with the visual (cough lemonade movie)???????
But did the lemonade film steal that concept from someone else… Lol irony
Smfh, please stop! The concept of Lemonade was stolen just as all the rest of her “inspired” albums!
Rih never steals unlike her other counterparts
Why is she so pretty?
_
Lackluster song tho
Such a cute carefree song. She looks absolutely stunning in the video.
SCREEEEAAAAMMMIIINNNGGGG at this mess.
.
How many copies has ANTi sold?
I like the video. She is so gorgeous. Calvin was right about that. The concept was great. The video was fun and freestyle which is how the song sounds. Ki at hive calling anything generic. jist because it’s a catchy pop tune. Anti and unapologetic, rated r all housed very not generic songs. Don’t act like Rihanna doesn’t dabble into all genres and give us the best of both worlds. Can you imagine bey singing this. Even just for fun. ??? it would be a mess. She need to stay in the ghetto urban area where she reigns champ. Generically ghetto. Moreover these fake accounts popping out of the wood works are an absolute ki! My fave had fun in this video and didn’t need robotic dance moves l, jumping off of buildings, hitting cars with bats, divorcing her husband 100 times. Nor did she need to jump in a football players lap, utilize her kid and baby father drama. Nor did she need to absolutely carry the gays after a major tragedy in their community. Who else?
I think you don’t understand that your fave has no talent hence why every video this era she has rather had n****** out, twerking on n***** or walking around with her fat forheaded ass. Lemonade alone has more genres than rihanna has ever tried to dabble in and the video where she “hitting cars with bats” is better and more memorable than any rihanna video this era.
More genres thanks to following in rihs footsteps. Furthermore if that were true the singles would be selling. ????? where she at on billboard????. Where her number 1 song at? Please spare me. Miss controversy wouldn’t last if she didn’t steal her way to the top. Let’s be real!
“following in rihs footsteps”
Anti is a sloppy, struggle ass attempt at replicating Self titled with no acclaim, vocals, or artistry. BBHMM was dollar store version of 7/11 (a song which your fave was seen getting ALL her life from 3 TIMES on video), Love on the brain is a blatant rip off of superpower and lets not forget the failed attempt to pull a surprise release. Have an empty Anti tour arena of seats
Bbhmm is nothing like that redundant blabber 7/11 that lasted a month stop it
Slaying the hot 100 and the girls without doing half of the extras and still on top. No Nicki, Ciara, or Cheryl fans should be at the table. Honestly you guys are like quacking ducks. When your faves do even a tenth of what Rihanna has; then come sit with us. Other than that beat it ??✌?️
Hmmmmm alrighty then. Good news is that the song grew on me although it can annoying being on repeat due to the repetitiveness of it. it’s perfect for the club or just for dancing I guess. This video was just…very dull and pointless. Literally pointless. On the other note she looks absolutely beautiful, stunning and gorgeous. I felt hypnotized by her lol
Hopefully the streams for this trash video will make it go to #1 because lord knows she can’t SEll her music to save her gahdamn life!!! I don’t understand how they claim Lemonade is boring when at least we have been served vocals, choreography, and pure artistic genius this era. Meanwhile they have been served títties and this shít…. ?

#danceyoassoffrih

Lol when you guys have no excuse but the fact she didn’t dance like a damn jaggabat is all. It’s sad. Furthermore it’s rising on iTunes. Apparently it’s more than just streams driving this song. Either way both are acceptable forms of payment. For people who aren’t fans; you guys always critique and mope as if you wanted more. Welcome to the world of fandom. I lived and I’m still living off of it. Her beauty is mezmorizing. The fashion is flawless, and Rih had fun. Too bad bey can’t. Everything she does is to script. And it’s sad. Poor thing.
However, the girl is pretty… ?

#andabody. #cutefacenoass ??
Girl you right she’s very pretty but it’s a pity she’s shaped like a snickers bar
Video isn’t anything special but simply confirms my notion that Rihanna could rock what appears to be a sack and still look like a model. She’s gorgeous.
She’s about to have 3x the #1s than Beyonce has. The dragging will vicious. ?????
will *be…
Stop it?
The last Beyonce had a #1 record was back in 2008. The last time it topped the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard 200 simultaneously was back in 2003. ???

People always coming for bey and her gap between having a hot 100#1 when other LEGENDS went asYEARS without having one. Cher almost went 30 years until she hit number one with believe! Prince only has 5 number ones with purple rain never reaching the top. Justin timber lake went 9 years before having his latest number one and he and Bey are the same age. But y’all forget bey has spent a total of 36 weeks at #1 on the hot 100. She’s broken legends records with only FIVE!! Janet had 10 but only spent 33 weeks at the top. So stop reaching and get RI forehead some more number one ALBUMS. Cuz 2 out of 8 is nothing to BRAG about! ????
Sigh! TF was that, seriously? Rihanna is that artist you want to just shake until she gets it! I know she’s not a performer like Janet or Bey (sorry for the comparisons), but she actually have a presence like Whitney… in a way! She looked gorgeous, but she needs more bite! I didn’t mind the first 30 seconds, but that endless twirling … then her focus completely breaks towards the middle and she just look as if she’s not into it for the 2nd half of the video. Rihanna’s in her lane when it come to charting on the Hot 100, but damn, work for it sometimes! Be an artist! This ‘Anti’ material is actually so much better than generic songs like S&M and even WFL. I need Rih to wake up! This may still be her next #1 though! … I just need her to deliver every 4 or 5 videos! That’s not a lot to ask for!
Honey it’s calvins song. Lol. I’m sure she didn’t have much input to what the. Video visually would be like. But furthermore it’s free spirited type of song. Nobody at the club will twerking to this. They will be twirling and or dancing rave like. So I don’t understand why you guys are giving her the third degree. Everything on anti is better. You are absolutely right. However I don’t see how this song will make or break her when it’s striving very well. Obviously the masses think otherwise. It’s a cute edm pop song. And I do as a fan have one problem with it. I felt like it was missing a bridge. Adding a powerful bridge to this would have made it even better. But I’ll still get life.
Honey, where’s Calvin at in the video? Isn’t Rih the main attraction? Am I wrong? You should reread my comment? I didn’t say this song will make or break Rihanna. Let me reiterate some of my statements, once again!
*Rihanna’s in her lane when it come to charting on the Hot 100 …
*This may still be her next #1 …
I know Rihanna will be fine on the singles chart, what I’m frustrated with is her lazy performance in several videos she’s released lately. I don’t mind this song (and I’m not into EDM music), so that says something about how catchy it is. Good for you though, glad the song is giving you life – the video sure won’t for most!
Even as a Beyonce fan, you’re one of the more reasonable and mature commenter on this site and I respect your opinion but what we’re we really expecting from an “EDM” video? Have you seen EDM videos lately not to mention Calvin Harris’ at that? I’m just glad she showed up to actually partake in the video.
.
Also, I personally disagree with “We Found Love” and “S&M” being generic songs. They both are millenia dance classics thus far and the impact of each track, particularly the former, speaks for itself.
I only expected Rihanna to look a little more lively in a video that’s centered around her. By the second half of the video she looked so uninspired. I respect your position on S&M and WFL, but again, I find those songs to be generic. I don’t care about chart placement (when it comes to a song’s likability, that’s something I only measure a form of success with) this goes for my favs as well! Imo, this song featuring Rih is better than both of those songs we’ve mentioned.
What did you want her to do! Run around looking like a suicidal French maid in a yellow dress wielding a bat lol! She did enough for the purpose of the song. Calvin even said in his interview with everything Rih had going on it was hard to get her in the studio let alone to do the video. Do you know how many projects Rihanna had going on and still has going on? Her tour, manolo, her puma fenty line, Dior, her album, the valerian movie, her beauty line coming, and more. So I’m completely understand why the video is what it is. She’s actually involved a lot into her projects. This is calvins song. Hence if Calvin had a problem the song wouldn’t have made cut. But her beauty and carefree attitude will carry once again. And the “non fans” will still live and try to critique as much as possible. Don’t reiterate anything to me Hun I know exactly what you are saying .
Where it is as bey completely focused on just her album apparently. Rih is juggling several things at once. Music is beys strongest point so it makes sense to do that. I’m not saying it gives Rih a reason to slack off or none of thee other. But she milder herself very well into the music industry and has been able to sustain despite all the negative crap you guys been saying about her since her debut
Well, what were you really expecting TGJ? This site is so incredibly extra!
.
Did you all really expect a high-budget video with multiple locations and 10 outfit changes for an EDM song? She was on tour when this song/video was shot and it’s not even for her own album. We have to be greatful that she’s even in the video, and it’s not just a collage of models walking aimlessly around a swimming pool, because you know how it is with DJ videos nowadays (just like how Beyoncé isn’t present in “Running”).
.
Anyway, QUEEN… You look absolutely GORGEOUS. Your next #1 is upon us. 😉
That’s why running was a critically acclaimed flop. Loved the song. But no presence of Beyonce at all. Let alone the video almost sent me into borderline depression lls.
Some of y’all are so worried why Rihanna isn’t dancing in this video, but should be worried why ya girl, who has the justice league of radio producers such as the Weeknd, Just Blaze, Diplo, and Mike Will along with lyrics penned by Rae Sremmurd can’t seem to keep ANY of her songs on the radio one month after its release. I mean say what you want, but this is a hit and officially the song of the summer.
budget burned? 😉
.
rolled outta bed? 😀
.
island bish can’t dance to that? 😛
.
in a bunch of month nobody cares anymore.
I just hate the outfit. Like, girl what do you have on? She looks like she’s about to get comfy for the airport not a song that’s about to be her #15 number one single.
I like the video and the concept cause it’s simple and she always beautiful. As a fan I don’t like the outfit either. It looks like they trying to make High Fashion out of a trash bag with glitter. Must be from the Yeezy collection.
I know Rihanna is featured but how are y’all gonna tell this woman what she should have done when it’s not even for her album. Lol. Calvin Harris knows where he wants the video to go. Secondly, I never understood how an artist can disappoint people who supposedly do not care about that particular artist . Its ok to have an opinion and comment but I look at some of the comments and I wonder what some of these folks do for a living cause they are on here all day long literally arguing.
Why are all these haters and writers always salivating and waiting for Rih’s videos and visuals?
This was a cute video. It’s not meant to be a huge production. She doesn’t have to dance – she’s not really that type of artist. The girl has the type of voice that can go on anything, that’s her strength. The frustration with her makes sense, but that also assumes she wants to get to a certain level, above where she is now (which is one of the biggest artists in the world).
Her team did a great job molding to her strengths . That plus her voice and star power means she never has to dance a step in her life.
Does Rihanna not have a budget anymore? Everything about the anti era screams CHEAP!!!
Whose video is this again?
It’s a Calvin Harris song you dumb ass.
It`s got nothing to do with Anti!!!!!
Horrible video, but like said a 100 times already, she looks gorgeous.
I’m confused. Is this Rihanna’s music video or a Calvin Harris music video? Did Beyonce have any creative input into the music video of Naughty Boy’s Runnin’ which flopped btw? The RoachHive continues to prove why they are the most moronic, idiotic, cesspool-of-retārds fanbase of all. Jesus Christ! ?
Theyre used to the 5,000 producers and editors that their unoriginal fave has to use for her videos and movies. Everyone doesnt choose to do that. Still has charted higher than any song from Lemonade kii and possibly higher. We will see
Rihanna is sultry more Eartha Kitt, than a Tina Turner. Dancing just not what she do, and you would think after 11 years in the business, yall would stop hating. The girl has Icon awards from fashion and music. She increases profits with any brand she affiliated with, and has a huge fan base who has her charted with the legends. Long as her peers put some respek on her name I’m sure she don’t care what bloggers, and trolls think.
“Rihanna is sultry more Eartha Kitt, than a Tina Turner.”
NO.
Loved it! Sometimes less is more and in the case with this video that is true. I love the concept that “Everyone is watching her (her being in the cube) but she’s looking at you (hence her speaking directly to US, the viewers).
SLAYAGE.
So pretty.
Probably the second time I’m hearing this song and have now seen half of the visual. Honestly, I was stunned to find out that it was her ‘singing’ she doesn’t sound like herself at all. Come thru studio magic!
She sounds like every generic EDM fill-in singer that’s been coming out of the UK lately. Its a shame
Boring.
Fun,trap-rap artist Pleigher
