The song is the seventh from Rihanna’s No. 1 album Loud.
The 23-year-old singer bounces back and forth between the casual routines of her life–swimming, driving her car, partying and hanging out with friends –and the intense emotional highs of performing in front of huge audiences.
The video also features her in her native Barbados in footage shot earlier this year while she was visiting family and friends.
Avril Lavigne (of all people) pops into the video raising her glass to the camera before skateboarding along the edge of a swimming pool and falling in.
Cheers also samples Avril’s song “I’m With You.”
Rihanna takes her down time seriously. She’s been spotted in St. Tropez, relaxing on deck of her chartered yacht.
She is currently between the U.S. and European legs of her tour. Check out her video below.
