In many ways, the groove-filled slow jam will definitely go down as a classic as Rihanna continues to evolve in her music.
In some parts of the song, the pair intertwine their vocals to magical effect.
"Best make me believe it / Best make me believe it / Believe you won’t deceive me,” Rihanna and Party, 26, sing together in harmony on the upbeat tune.

On a light note, ardent fans took to Twitter to lament on the fact that the new song only had Rihanna sing the hook whilst they were expecting so much more.
