Who is Rihanna? Everything to know about Super Bowl 57 halftime performer’s songs, lyrics & more

The NFL has seemingly scored a slam dunk — er, touchdown — in securing Rihanna as the headliner for its halftime show at Super Bowl 57.

Few artists are as accomplished as Rihanna, who has used her impressive musical resume to evolve into an international pop culture icon and entrepreneur. Considering she hasn’t performed live since 2018 — and only recently released new music after a several-year hiatus — the hype surrounding the artist from Barbados is palpable.

At least, among those who actively follow her. But some who watch Super Bowl 57 will do it to see the outcome of the Eagles-Chiefs game — not just the entertainment. Some might not have followed her career to this point, or may simply need a refresher on the pop icon, considering how long it has been since she prioritized music over other aspects of her career.

Enter The Sporting News, which has you covered on everything you need to know about the global superstar’s top songs, lyrics and net worth:

Who is Rihanna?

Rihanna — full name Robyn Rihanna Fenty — was born in St. Michael, Barbados on Feb. 20, 1988 and raised in the capital city of Bridgetown. She began her career as a singer-songwriter in the early 2000s; her first two albums, “Music of the Sun” (2005) and “A Girl Like Me” (2006), were influenced by Caribbean music.

She has since gone onto release six more albums that have incorporated pop, dance and R&B into her music: “Good Girl Gone Bad” (2007), “Rated R” (2009), “Loud” (2010), “Talk That Talk” (2011), “Unapologetic” (2012) and “Anti” (2016).

Rihanna attended Charles F. Broome Memorial Primary School and Combermere School in Barbados, though she never graduated from the latter as she began to focus on music instead. In 2003 she formed a musical trio with two of her classmates, though she quickly broke away and became a solo artist after auditioning with American record producer Evan Rogers.

Rihanna has won nine Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, 13 American Music Awards and eight People’s Choice Awards, among others. She has spurred her musical career into other successful business ventures, including the launching of several Fenty brands that include skin care, cosmetics and luxury fashion.

SOS (A Girl Like Me, 2006)

Lalala lalala la la lala la Ohhh
You know … I never felt like this before
Lalala lalala la la lala la Ohhh
Feels like. so real

I’m obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
I’m aggressive just one thought of closing up
You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue
‘Cause every moment gone you know I miss you
I’m the question and you’re of course the answer
Just hold me close boy ’cause I’m your tiny dancer
You make me shaken up, never mistaken
But I can’t control myself, got me calling out for help

S.O.S. please someone help me.
It’s not healthy … for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard,
I can’t take it, see it don’t feel right
S.O.S. please someone help me
It’s not healthy … for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin’ and turnin’ and can’t sleep at night

This time please someone come and rescue me
‘Cause you on my mind it’s got me losing it
I’m lost, you got me lookin’ for the rest of me
Love is testing me but still I’m losing it
This time please someone come and rescue me
‘Cause you on my mind, it’s got me losing it
I’m lost, you got me looking for the rest of me,
Got the best of me, so now I’m losing it

Just your presence and I second guess my sanity
Yes it’s a lesson, it’s unfair, you stole my vanity
My tummy’s up in knots so when I see you I get so hot
My common sense is out the door, can’t seem to find the lock
Take on me (uh huh) you know inside you feel it right
Take me on I’m put desire up in your arms tonight
I’m out with you, you got me head over heels
Boy you keep me hanging on the way you make me feel

S.O.S. please someone help me.
It’s not healthy … for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making (Y.O.U.) this hard,
You got me tossin’ and turnin’ and can’t sleep at night

This time please someone come and rescue me
‘Cause you on my mind, it’s got me losing it (‘Cause you on my mind)
I’m lost, you got me lookin’ for the rest of me
Love is testing me but still I’m losing it
This time please someone come and rescue me (someone come and rescue me)
‘Cause you on my mind got me losing it
I’m lost, you got me looking for the rest of me,
Got the best of me, so now I’m losing it

Boy, you know you got me feeling open
And boy, your loves enough with words unspoken
I said boy I’m telling you, you got me open
I don’t know what to do it’s true
I’m going crazy over you,
I’m begging

S.O.S. please somebody help me.
It’s not healthy … for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard (are you making this hard for me, baby?),
You got me tossin’ and turnin’ and can’t sleep at night

This time please someone come and rescue me (someone rescue me)
‘Cause you on my mind, it’s got me losing it
I’m lost, you got me lookin’ for the rest of me
Love is testing me but still I’m losing it
This time please someone come and rescue me
‘Cause you on my mind got me losing it (’cause any time)
I’m lost you, got me looking for the rest of me,
Got the best of me (best of me), I’m losing it

Lala lala lala lala Ohhh
Ohh ohh lala lala lala lala

Umbrella (Good Girl Gone Bad, 2007)

Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah, Rihanna
Uh huh, uh huh
Good girl gone bad
Uh huh, uh huh
Take three, action
Uh huh, uh huh, Hov

No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Comin’ down at the Dow Jones
When the clouds come, we gone
We Rocafella
We fly higher than weather
In G5s or better
You know me
In anticipation for precipitation stack chips for the rainy day
Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna, where you at?

You have my heart, and we’ll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines, but you’ll still be my star
Baby, ’cause in the dark
You can’t see shiny cars
And that’s when you need me there
With you I’ll always share
Because

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

These fancy things will never come in between
You’re part of my entity, here for infinity
When the world has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we’ll mend your heart
Because

When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

You can run into my arms
It’s okay, don’t be alarmed
Come into me
(There’s no distance in between our love)
So gon’ and let the rain pour
I’ll be all you need and more
Because

When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

It’s raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it’s raining, raining
Baby, come into me
Come into me
It’s raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it’s raining, raining
You can always come into me
Come into me
It’s pouring rain
It’s pouring rain
Come into me
Come into me
It’s pouring rain

Take a Bow (Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, 2008)

Oh, how ’bout a round of applause?
Yeah
Standin’ ovation
Ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standin’ outside my house
Tryin’ to apologize
You’re so ugly when you cry
Please
Just cut it out

Don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
Really had me goin’
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closin’
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now
(But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow, oh

Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on (come on)
Talkin’ ’bout, ‘Girl, I love you, you’re the one’
This just looks like a re-run
Please
What else is on? Oh, oh

And don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin’
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closin’
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now
(But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow

Oh, and the award for the best liar
Goes to you (goes to you)
For makin’ me believe
That you could be
Faithful to me
Let’s hear your speech, ohh

How ’bout a round of applause?
A standin’ ovation

But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin’
Now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closin’
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now
(But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it’s over now

Live Your Life (2008)

Ey, this is special what’s happenin’ to all my
All my soldiers over there in Iraq
Everybody right here
What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got
You know what I’m sayin?
Stop lookin’ at what you ain’t got
And start being thankful for what you do got
Let’s give it to ’em baby girl, hey (hey)

You’re gonna be, a shinin’ star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far
‘Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin’ that paper, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
Ain’t got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey, ayy ayy ayy)
No tellin’ where it’ll take ya, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
‘Cause I’m a paper chaser, just livin’ my life
(Ayy) my life (oh) my life (ayy) my life (oh)
Just livin’ my life (ay) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh) just livin’ my life

Hey, never mind what haters say, ignore ’em ’til they fade away
Amazin’ they ungrateful after all the game I gave away
Safe to say I paved the way for you cats to get paid today
You’d still be wastin’ days away now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protégé, homage I think they should pay
Instead of bein’ gracious they violate in a major way
I never been a hater, still I love ’em in a crazy way
Some say they sold the yay’ you know they couldn’t get work on Labor Day
It ain’t that black and white, it has an area the shade of gray
I’m Westside anyway, even if I left today and stayed away
Some move away to make a way, not move away ’cause they afraid
I brought back to the hood, and all you ever did was take away
I pray for patience but they make me wanna melt they face away
Like I once made ’em spray, now I could make ’em put the K’s away
Been thuggin’ all my life, can’t say I don’t deserve to take a break
You’d rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away

You’re gonna be, a shinin’ star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far
‘Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin’ that paper, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
Ain’t got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey, ayy ayy ayy)
No tellin’ where it’ll take ya, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
‘Cause I’m a paper chaser, just livin’ my life
(Ayy) my life (oh) my life (ayy) my life (oh)
Just livin’ my life (ay) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh) just livin’ my life

I’m the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with
The spirit of a hustla and the swagger of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics
Articulate, but still’ll grab a n— by the collar quick
Whoever havin’ problems with their record sales just holler Tip
If that don’t work and all else fails then turn around and follow Tip
I got love for the game, but ayy I’m not in love with all of it
Could do without the fame, and rappers nowadays are comedy
The hootin’ and the hollerin’, back and forth with the arguin’
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in
Seems as though you lost sight of what’s important when depositin’
Them checks into your bank account, and you up out of poverty
Your values is a disarray, prioritizin’ horribly
Unhappy with the riches ’cause you’re piss poor morally
Ignorin’ all prior advice and forewarnin’
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren’t we?

You’re gonna be, a shinin’ star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far
‘Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin’ that paper, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
Ain’t got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey, ayy ayy ayy)
No tellin’ where it’ll take ya, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
‘Cause I’m a paper chaser, just livin’ my life
(Ayy) my life (oh) my life (ayy) my life (oh)
Just livin’ my life (ay) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh) just livin’ my life

Got everybody watchin’ what I do, come walk in my shoes
And see the way I’m livin’ if you really want to
Got my mind on my money
And I’m not goin’ away
So keep on gettin’ your paper, and keep on climbin’
Look in the mirror, and keep on shinin’ (shinin’)
‘Til the game ends, ’til the clock stop
We gon’ post up on the top spot
Livin’ the life, the life
In the Windmill City got my whole team with me
The life, my life
I do it how I wanna do
I’m livin’ my life, my life
I will never lose
I’m livin’ my life, my life
And I’m not stoppin’

So live your life, your life, your life

Feels so good being bad (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
There’s no way I’m turning back (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Now the pain is for pleasure
‘Cause nothing can measure (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Love is great, love is fine (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Out the box, outta line (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

‘Cause I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

Make my body say, “Ah, ah, ah, ” I like it, like it

‘Cause I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones

Love the Way You Lie (2010)

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that’s alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
Well, that’s alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can’t tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now, there’s a steel knife in my windpipe
I can’t breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right, it’s like I’m in flight
High off of love, drunk from her hate
It’s like I’m huffing paint and I love her, the more I suffer
I suffocate and right before I’m about to drown
She resuscitates me, she f—ing hates me
And I love it, “Wait
Where you going?” “I’m leaving you”
“No you ain’t, come back”
We’re running right back, here we go again
It’s so insane ’cause when it’s going good, it’s going great
I’m Superman, with the wind at his back, she’s Lois Lane
But when it’s bad, it’s awful
I feel so ashamed, I snapped, “Who’s that dude?”
I don’t even know his name, I laid hands on her
I’ll never stoop so low again, I guess I don’t know my own strength

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that’s alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
Well, that’s alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe when you’re with ’em?
You meet, and neither one of you, even know what hit ’em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah, them chills, used to get ’em
Now you’re getting f—ing sick of looking at ’em
You swore you’ve never hit ’em, never do nothing to hurt ’em
Now you’re in each other’s face
Spewing venom in your words when you spit ’em
You push, pull each other’s hair, scratch, claw, bit ’em
Throw ’em down, pin ’em, so lost in the moments when you’re in ’em
It’s the rage that took over, it controls you both
So they say you’re best to go your separate ways
Guess that they don’t know ya ’cause today, that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it’s a different day
Sound like broken records playin’ over
But you promised her, next time you’ll show restraint
You don’t get another chance, life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that’s why they call it window pane

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that’s alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
Well, that’s alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things, did things that we didn’t mean
Then we fall back into the same patterns
Same routine, but your temper’s just as bad as mine is
You’re the same as me, when it comes to love, you’re just as blinded
Baby, please come back, it wasn’t you
Baby, it was me, maybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seems
Maybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don’t you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time I’m pissed, I’ll aim my fist at the drywall
Next time? There won’t be no next time
I apologize, even though I know it’s lies
I’m tired of the games, I just want her back, I know I’m a liar
If she ever tries to f—ing leave again
I’m a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that’s alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
Well, that’s alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

We Found Love (2011)

Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

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

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

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

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine (mine, mine, mine)

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Diamonds (2013)

Shine bright like a diamond

Find light in the beautiful sea

You and I, you and I
We’re like diamonds in the sky
You’re a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky

I knew that we’d become one right away
Oh, right away

I saw the life inside your eyes

The Monster (2013)

I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re tryin’ to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy (crazy)

I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars can’t be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
For wantin’ my cake, and eat it too, and wantin’ it both ways
Fame made me a balloon ’cause my ego inflated
When I blew, see, but it was confusing
‘Cause all I wanted to do’s be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh)
Hit the lottery, ooh-wee
But with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweet
It was like winnin’ a used mink
Ironic ’cause I think I’m gettin’ so huge I need a shrink
I’m beginnin’ to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
But I’m actually weirder than you think, ’cause I’m

I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re tryin’ to save me, stop holdin’ your breath
And you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy

Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Now, I ain’t much of a poet
But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
And don’t squander it
‘Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjurin’
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
Yeah, ponderin’ll do you wonders
No wonder you’re losing your mind, the way it wanders
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
I think it went wanderin’ off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
‘Cause I need an interventionist
To intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
‘Cause the very thing that I love’s killing me
And I can’t conquer it
My OCD is conkin’ me in the head, keep knockin’
Nobody’s home, I’m sleepwalkin’
I’m just relayin’ what the voice in my head’s sayin’
Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just friends with the

I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re tryin’ to save me, stop holdin’ your breath
And you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy

Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Call me crazy, but I have this vision
One day that I’ll walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then, drums get killed and
I’m comin’ straight at MC’s, blood gets spilled and
I’ll take it back to the days that I’d get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin’
And s— to say back to the kids who played him
I ain’t here to save the f—in’ children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that’s great
It’s payback, Russell Wilson
Falling way back in the draft
Turn nothin’ into somethin’, still can
Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin
Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I’m okay with that
It’s nothin’, I’m still friends with the

I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re tryin’ to save me, stop holdin’ your breath
And you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy

I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re tryin’ to save me, stop holdin’ your breath
And you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy

Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
