In September 2011, Rihanna again took to the social networking site to confirm that the plans had been scrapped, with the singer tweeting "I a, but LOUD is its own body of work! Plus guys work so hard that deserve to act brand new". Harris talking about the success of "We Found Love" įollowing the release and success of her album Loud (2010), Rihanna originally revealed via Twitter that the album would be re-issued with new songs and released in Fall 2011, writing that "he continues with more new music to add to collection". Then that did really well, it charted well and sold a lot of copies. But when 'We Found Love' came out, the radio started playing 'Feel So Close' like it was the single after. For example, in America my tune ' Feel So Close' came out about three months before. Career-wise it was the best thing that could ever have happened. Multiple recording artists have covered "We Found Love" including British artists Coldplay and Jessie J. The song has been performed on both the UK and US versions of The X Factor, as well as at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards and the 2012 Brit Awards.
The video won a Grammy Award for Best Music Video at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards and MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. The song's accompanying music video, directed by Melina Matsoukas, depicts the singer as a drug-abusing thrill-seeker in a relationship that quickly spirals downward into addiction and domestic violence. As of 2015, the single has sold 10.5 million copies worldwide, thus being one of the best selling singles of all time. According to BILLBOARD it is the 29th most successful single of all time in the US. Outside of the United States, "We Found Love" topped the charts in 25 other countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Russia, Scotland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It was the singer's eleventh song to top the Hot 100, placing her in third place among female recording artists amassing the most number one singles. The single also surpassed " Umbrella" and became Rihanna's longest running number one single. It topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for ten non-consecutive weeks, becoming the longest running number-one single of 2011.
The song's lyrics speak of a couple who "found love in a hopeless place". "We Found Love" is an uptempo electro house song, with elements of dance-pop, techno and Europop.
