The title of the song is a reference to Barbadian singer Rihanna. It peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart and number three in the Republic of Ireland.
Band member Jay McGuiness implied as a joke in a press conference announcing their reunion in September 2021, that members of the band didn't actually like the song.
