Last night Rihanna unlocked the final door of #ANTIdiaRY and dropped her 8th studio album ANTI exclusively on TIDAL. Let's take a moment to revisit the old Rihanna cuts -- specifically "Pon de Replay," her 2005 breakout hit and still one of her catchiest songs ever.
A quick trip to Wikipedia reveals that "Pon de Replay" means "play it again" in Bajan Creole, one of Barbados' two official languages. Indeed, the dancehall vibes are strong on this one.
Remarkably, Rihanna had just turned 17 when this single dropped. Anyone else remember watching this video on MTV?
Quotable Lyrics
Come Mr. DJ song pon de replay
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up
All the gyal pon the dance floor wantin' some more what
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up
