"We Found Love" is a song by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna,

from her sixth studio album Talk That Talk (2011). The song features Scottish

singer-songwriter Calvin Harris. "We Found Love" was released as the lead

single from the album and premiered on September 22, 2011, in the United

Kingdom on the Capital FM radio station and was made available to download on

the same day.

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Melina Matsoukas and

presents Rihanna's relationship with her boyfriend as being like a drug and

how their addiction to each other results in the singer leaving her boyfriend

because of his possessive nature.

"We Found Love" is an electro house and dance-pop song. It also displays

elements of europop, pop, techno[18] and trance music. Glen Gamboa of Newsday

described "We Found Love" as being the mainstream version of dubstep.

Rihanna's vocal range in the song spans one octave, from the lower note of

C?4 to the higher note of C?5. Priya Elan of NME commented that Rihanna

sounds "extremely relaxed" and Bill Lamb of About.com wrote that her vocals

are simple and unaffected. Leah Collins of The Vancouver Sun wrote that

Rihanna's vocals on "We Found Love" were similar to her own ones on "Fly".

Michael Cragg commented that the first chorus is almost being

sidelined in favor of a large chunk of Harris's riff, before they join on the

second chorus. The hook repeatedly rings throughout the song. In the second

verse, she sings: "Shine a light through an open door / Love and life I will

divide / Turn away cause I need you more / Feel the heartbeat in my mind /

It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny / But I’ve gotta let it go".
