The song is rumored to be produced and written by Stargate, Benny Blanco and Sia. At the iHeart Radio Music Fest, Rihanna said about the new song, “You’re not sad or dancing. You’re happy and hippie. It’s laid-back, but it’s hopeful. It gives me such a great feeling when I listen to it. The lyrics are very hopeful and positive, but it’s about love and the gears are a little different from what people would expect. I’m excited to surprise them sonically.” – Lupe Fiasco’s album Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 drops tomorrow and you know there’s been rumors about Lupe retiring from the music game. He has cleared that up saying contractually he only has this upcoming album and the Part 2 to the album left to do. After that he still plans on developing music projects, they just won’t be commercial, rap albums. He has a punk band and if you remember he said he wanted to be a teacher so he might do that!
