Hear Rihanna's new "Diamonds" single

It’s kind of a risk, considering the midtempo “Diamonds” doesn’t initially sound like a hit-you-over-the-head smash. That doesn’t mean it won’t be a massive hit, though, considering her track record and especially since its lyrics seem to declare a personal shift.

“I choose to be happy,” she sings early on, before declaring, “You and I, we’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky.” Apparently, love has moved out of the hopeless place.
