Welcome to Music Friday when we bring you exciting songs with jewelry, gemstones or precious metals in the title or lyrics. We hope you have your dancing shoes on because today's tune is Rihanna's 2011 blockbuster hit, "We Found Love." The opening line of the song has the 24-year-old Barbadian sensation singing, "Yellow diamonds in the light, and we're standing side by side."
The single, from her sixth studio album Talk That Talk, has sold 6.9 million copies to date, making it one of best-selling singles of all time. The official "We Found Love" video has been viewed on YouTube an astonishing 220 million times.
Overall, Rihanna has sold more than 25 million albums and 60 million digital singles worldwide since the beginning of her career in 2005. Barely in her mid-20s, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, already ranks third among female performers with 11 #1 singles. Only Madonna (12) and Mariah Carey (18) have more.
In the video below, Rihanna and her troop perform "We Found Love" live at the 2012 Grammy Nominations Concert in London. Here are the lyrics if you'd like to sing along...
"We Found Love"
Lyrics by Calvin Harris. Performed by Rihanna (featuring Calvin Harris).
Yellow diamonds in the light
And 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
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
