“Needed Me” offered a clear crystallization of Rihanna as a well-traveled, yeehaw-pioneering outlaw: People needed her, and she needed no one. It should feel normal, but it was thrilling to witness a woman governed only by her own rules, acting like a man. On the other hand, “Needed Me” is tender and sadly wise, a song about someone who is capable of being strong in a relationship and has learned they can’t expect to rely on anyone. And why bother? Put to music with radio heavy-hitters DJ Mustard, Frank Dukes, and Starrah, the song is sexy and savage, a way for Rihanna to flex her unique ability to inhabit the tastes and feelings of both Gen Z and Gen X. It resonated massively but quietly, becoming her longest-charting hit without ever hitting the Top 5. –Naomi Zeichner

“Need Me”清楚地體現(xiàn)了蕾哈娜(Rihanna)作為一個游歷甚廣、離鄉(xiāng)背巷的非法開拓者的形象: 人們需要她，而她不需要任何人。這種感覺應(yīng)該很正常，但是看到一個女人只按照自己的規(guī)則行事，像個男人一樣，是令人興奮的。另一方面，“Need Me”是一首溫柔而傷感的智慧之歌，它講述了一個人在一段關(guān)系中變得堅強，并學(xué)會了不能指望依靠任何人的故事。何苦呢？把DJ Mustard，制作人Frank Dukes和創(chuàng)作才子 Starrah一起匯集在這首歌的創(chuàng)作里，性感且野蠻，是蕾哈娜展示她獨特能力的一種方式，體現(xiàn)了z 世代和 x 世代的品味和感受。它引起了巨大的共鳴，但卻悄無聲息。這首歌成為她在榜單上停留時間最長的熱門歌曲，卻從未進入前五名。
