Background and release[edit]
On January 21, 2015, Kanye West made a surprise appearance at the iHeartMedia Music Summit, where he spoke about his career, played a few upcoming songs, and concluded with a collaboration with Rihanna that "featured acoustic guitar and a big, soaring chorus and melody with a massive hook. He then slammed his laptop shut and walked offstage to a standing ovation."[1] Earlier, on January 2, recording artist and producer Ty Dolla Sign gave an interview to Billboard magazine where it revealed that he, West, Rihanna and Paul McCartney worked on a track together, which was yet to receive its final title.[2] On January 24, Rihanna posted the song on her official website, Rihannanow.com.[3] The song titled "FourFiveSeconds" was released as single being made available for digital download on January 24 via the iTunes Store.[4] In the United Kingdom it was digitally released on January 26 via Amazon.[5] A CD single featuring "FourFiveSeconds" and its music video was released on February 27 in Germany.[6]
The Jungle City Studios in New York City was one of the studios where the song was recorded.
"FourFiveSeconds" was written by West, McCartney, Kirby Lauryen, Mike Dean, Sign, Dave Longstreth, Dallas Austin, Elon Rutberg and Noah Goldstein. It was produced by West and McCartney, co-produced by Dean, while additional production was provided by Longstreth and Goldstein. The single was recorded at the Jungle City Studios in New York City, Windmark Recording in Santa Monica and No Name Studios in Mexico. Marcos Tovar along with Goldstein and Dean had done the recording of the vocals, while Brendan Morawski, Zeke Mishanec, Jeremy "Head" Hartney, Brandon Wood and Jordan Heskett served as assistant recording engineers. The vocal production of the song was done by Kuk Harrell and it was mixed by Manny Marroquin at the Larabee Studios in Los Angeles. Assistant mixing was made by Chris Galland, Jeff Jackson and Ike Schultz. McCartney played the acoustic guitar, Longstreth played the organ and Dean played the bass guitar.[7]
On February 8, during his Grammy Awards red carpet interview, West explained how the collaboration came to fruition: "I'm executive producer of Rihanna's album, and I said I'd done a few songs with Paul McCartney and she couldn't get past this record. She had to have it on her album... So now we at the Grammys doing it".[8] West further compared Rihanna's vocals on the song to that of Scottish singer Annie Lennox: "I feel like she has this type of energy in her vocals. And she even brought it to another level of like soul and heart and artistry".[9] In an interview with V magazine, Rihanna revealed, "The thing that made me fall in love with ['FourFiveSeconds'] is the juxtaposition of the music and the lyrics. When you read the lyrics it's a completely different song than what you are hearing. The music is easygoing, but the lyrical content is very loud and in your face."[10] Although it is a first collaboration by the trio, they have collaborated separately. West and McCartney collaborated on the 2014 single "Only One", a track dedicated to West's daughter North. Rihanna and West previously collaborated on Jay-Z's 2009 single "Run This Town" — which became a commercial success and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — and West's 2011 single "All of the Lights", a track featuring backup vocals by John Legend, Fergie, and Elton John among others.[11]

"FourFiveSeconds" is an acoustic folk-pop, pop, pop rock and soul pop song,[12] with a length of three minutes and eight seconds.[13] Critics noted how the song has a stripped back feel to it,[14] and that it incorporates elements of country and folk.[15][16] "FourFiveSeconds" makes use of a simple instrumentation, primarily consisting of an acoustic guitar and organ, as well as a bass guitar in the background.[11][17] It has been noted that West sings his lines in the song instead of rapping them, which prompted Jim Farber of the Daily News to write that he could have done with auto-tune to smooth out his "unsteady vocals."[14] "FourFiveSeconds" is written in the key of D major, in common time, with a tempo of 103 beats per minute. Rihanna and West's vocals span two octaves from the low note of D3 to the high note of D5.[18]
Billboard's Jocelyn Vena stated that the musical direction of the song represents a departure from the material present on Rihanna's most recent studio album, Unapologetic (2012), which incorporated EDM and dubstep.[19][20][21] Hugh Mclntyre of Forbes also wrote that the song represents a change in musical direction for Rihanna and West, while noting that it is consistent with McCartney's style of music.[11] Lanre Bakare of The Guardian described "FourFiveSeconds" as an "acoustic ballad" and the antithesis of what Rihanna and West's previous collaborations have sounded like.[22] Writing for Vogue magazine, Alex Frank described the song as an "unplugged version" of Rihanna's 2011 single "We Found Love", and without the dance beats present on her previous singles.[23]
The New York Post wrote that the lyrics "express emotions ranging from the flip to the resigned".[14] Sharan Shetty of Slate stated that the song is about "heartbreak and redemption",[24] while a Yahoo! News reviewer noted that it is about "personal travails and confusion".[25] Nora Crotty of Elle magazine described the single as an "ode to repenting in the morning for the foolish mistakes you made the night before".[26] Billboard's Vena stated that a "plucky acoustic guitar" accompanies Rihanna's vocals while she sings the lines, "I think I've had enough/ Might get a little drunk/ I say what's on my mind/ I might do a little time. Cause all of my kindness/ Is taken for weakness." After the first chorus West sings, "Woke up an optimist/ Sun was shining, I'm positive/ Then I heard you was talking trash/ Hold me back/ I'm about to spazz." On the second chorus, he and Rihanna harmonize as they sing, "Now I'm four, five seconds from wylin'/ And we got three more days 'till Friday/ I'm just trying to make it back home by Monday morning."[19] McCartney's voice can be heard sped up underneath West's opening vocals. McCartney originally played his guitar part slower and in a lower key, which West later sped up for the finished release, thus causing McCartney's voice to sound much higher than its normal tone. McCartney's lyrics were improvised mid-performance and are for the most part drowned out by West's vocals except for the lines "We can run around" and "How 'bout a mystery" [27]
Critical reception[edit]
Rihanna's vocals on the song received praise from several music critics
Peter Kandunias of Gigwise praised Rihanna's and West's vocals as well as McCartney's instrumentation.[28] Mclntyre of Forbes noted: "The song puts the spotlight on Rihanna's vocals, highlighting them in a way that her club-ready, bombastic tunes don't usually."[11] Jim Farber of New York Daily News stated that this collaboration is better than the previous West-McCartney collaboration. Additionally, he praised Rihanna's vocals and stated that they are a lot better than West's, "who could have used more auto-tune to firm his unsteady vocals". Farber further noted: "It's refreshing to hear Rihanna sing with so little affect, in a setting that's much less processed than most of her recordings".[14] Vox's Kelsey McKinney noted that "Rihanna's voice shows significant growth in range and tone since her last album". She adds that Rihanna's performance in the opening of the song is "more vulnerable than we've heard Rihanna since 2012's 'Stay', and hints that her new album may contain more confessional slow jams like this one".[29]
Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic wrote of Rihanna's vocals: "Listen to the ragged squeak in her voice in the first verse, and how she maintains control as she alternates between contemplative trills and gospel shouts during the bridge".[30] According to Kornhaber, the song showcases "how distinctive her timbre and phrasing is", something that wasn't heard on her previous songs like the 2010 single "Only Girl (In the World)".[30] Travis Grier of Def Pen Radio thought that the song is a good choice for Rihanna to achieve legendary status, as, "she's tackled pretty much every genre under the sun and 'FourFiveSeconds' just expands her versatility even more".[16] Crotty of Elle wrote that the song is "awesome" and "sweet".[26] In June 2015, Jason Lipshutz of Billboard named "FourFiveSeconds" one of the "10 Best Songs of 2015 (So Far)" stating "It's the end of June, and we're still waiting for the new Rihanna and Kanye West albums… as well as some indication that either will be coming soon. To tide us over, however, the pair of music superstars linked up with a legend and recorded a durable, folked-up soul sing-along. Ye and Rih always zag when we expect them to zig, and we're forever grateful for it."[31]
Accolades[edit]
The song received a nomination for Collaboration of the Year at the American Music Awards of 2015.[32] Although "FourFiveSeconds" was described by a writer of LA Times as "tailor-made for multiple Grammy nominations" the song failed to receive a nomination in any category for the 2016 Grammy Awards.[33]

Music video[edit]
Development[edit]
The accompanying music video for "FourFiveSeconds" was directed by Dutch photographer duo, Inez and Vinoodh and shot in late December in New York City.[78] Stephanie Bargas, Jeff Lepine and Jon Barlow served as the visual's producers, while theCollectiveShift executively produced it. Jodokus Driessen was the director of photography, with Otto Arsenault serving both as editor and cinematographer.[79] On January 30, via her official YouTube channel, Rihanna posted a behind the scenes video from the making of the clip. The video features Rihanna, West, and McCartney performing against a white background. She explained the fashion that they used for the video, "Kanye came up with the idea of doing just some real street, denim, all-American-type look. Denim never goes out of style; it's classic, it's iconic, just like the Beatles."[80] On February 2, Rihanna posted a snippet of the clip on her official Instagram account. It shows the singer in silhouette as she sings the lyrics; she is wearing a Sean John throwback denim jacket.[81] The video premiered on February 3 on Rihanna's official Vevo channel on YouTube.[82] The same day, it was digitally released on the iTunes Store.[83]
Analysis and reception[edit]
The music video for "FourFiveSeconds" was compared to the works of the photographer Herb Ritts and filmmaker Xavier Dolan (pictured)
According to Kreps of Rolling Stone, "The Herb Ritts-esque black-and-white clip finds Rihanna and West just singing their collaborative track while McCartney strums the riff on an acoustic guitar, with the real highlight coming when the three musical titans share the same frame."[84] Steven Gottlieb of VideoStatic described it as, "vertically constrained to just the center third of the screen, the focus of this silvery black-and-white clip is Rihanna's emotional performance", while McCartney and West supported her role.[79] According to Erin Strecker of Billboard the video allows "each of the three superstars their moment in the spotlight. The camera mostly switches between tight individual shots of each denim-clad, passionate performer, although there are also a few scenes of all three together".[85] Jessica Goodman of The Huffington Post described the video as "simple and clean, much like the song".[86] Similarly, Nolan Feeney of Time called the video simple, but also "surprisingly intimate" like the single.[87] He also described Rihanna's eye-roll in the video as "epic".[87] Additionally, Feeney noted that the video is shot in a square aspect ratio and compared it to the works of French-Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan.[87]
A reviewer of MTV UK noted that the video is set in a square frame and resembles the single's artwork.[88] Sophie Schillaci of Entertainment Tonight called the square "Instagram friendly".[89] Gregory E. Miller of The New York Post noted that the video, shot on a minimalist set, is a departure from Rihanna's previous high-production videos.[90] VH1's Alexa Tietjen called the visual "stunning" and further praised Rihanna's looks, West's attitude, and McCartney's "social media skills".[91] Dee Locket of Slate called the visual a "performance video" in which Rihanna and West "appear to be on the verge of losing it".[92] Billy Johnson Jr. of Yahoo! Music stated that if the visual wanted to depict Rihanna "as a fragile woman on the verge of snapping", it succeeded: "Stylistically, the black and white video finds a happy medium between the look and feel of Abercrombie & Fitch and Gap ad campaigns with Rihanna [baring] just enough cleavage to make censors nervous."[93] Rachel Maresca of Daily News noted that West vents his aggression by kicking the camera.[94]
Live performances and covers[edit]
Rihanna, McCartney and West performed "FourFiveSeconds" at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards held on February 8, 2015, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.[95] Chris Payne of Billboard named the performance as one of the best moments of the ceremony and praised Rihanna's vocals, "Let's face it – seeing this improbable collaboration in person is the main reason many tuned in. There are so many ways three huge personas can get in the way, but Rihanna, 'Ye, and Sir Paul knew how to bring this one to life".[96] Joe Lynch of the same publication listed the performance at fourth out of the total of 23 performances that night, writing, "'FourFiveSeconds' ironically takes time to grow on you, but the presence of three disparate pop stars on stage with each other was one of the most deliriously awesome Grammy highlights".[97] Isabella Biedenharn of Entertainment Weekly graded the performance an "A" and praised Rihanna and West's vocals and the trio's wardrobe.[98] According to TiVo, the performance was the fifth most-viewed segment of the night.[99] On April 4, Rihanna performed at the Final Four of the March Madness 2015 which was held in Indianapolis, Indiana. During the performance, she sang a solo version of "FourFiveSeconds", as well as, her new songs "Bitch Better Have My Money" and "American Oxygen" among others.[100]
Canadian rapper Drake covered the song during his performance at the Sprite NBA All-Star Weekend concert held at the Irving Plaza in New York City on February 14.[101] Welsh band Punk Rock Factory recorded a cover of the song, transforming it into "a punk rock anthem".[102] English singer-songwriter James Bay covered "FourFiveSeconds" during the BBC Radio 1 Lounge on March 3.[103] Australian pop singer Cody Simpson performed an acoustic version of the single during his visit on SiriusXM radio. Christina Garibaldi of MTV News, regarding the performance, wrote, "The 'New Problems' singer effortlessly covers Rihanna and Kanye's verses while giving off some serious John Mayer vibes."[104] Rihanna also performed the song on the South American dates in late September, 2015. One of the shows was one of the nights of the Rock in Rio festival, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[104] One Direction covered the song during the BBC Radio One Live Lounge on 13 November. The song was also performed on the Anti World Tour.
