Rihanna - Russian Roulette 

Who’s watching this in 2024?

Is it me or her songs really never get old?

Its April 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song😝

14 long years later if u re watching this u re a legend..

this era of Rihanna was everything

11 long years later, if you're watching this, you're a legend

I am preparing for a medical exam that determines the rest of my life and career, and this song popped into my head out of the blues. I am deeply terrified of the outcome and what it means for my life but just like she says, I must pass this test. My heart is beating but I am not leaving. Thank you riri.

Shout out to NEYO for putting to pen this beautiful piece. ❤

I think the saddest thing about this album is that it didn’t sell that good and this song is one of her most powerful songs and it was so underrated.. why????!

Once I listen to one Rihanna song, I gotta listen to all of them. Her music is great.

2024 and it continues on being one of the greatest anthems!

Here i am again watching this masterpiece........ Rihanna made classics, Timeless Music

Guys!!! It's not about suicide!! I think this song is about falling in love, but it is speaking about it from a totally helpless point of view. A lot of songs are about love being bliss but in reality it can be paralyzing. The metaphor of russian roulette and shooting yourself, is plunging in to a relationship. The moment where you 'pull the trigger' is the moment where you commit to someone enough, that they are now in a position to break your heart. The line of 'hes here means he has never lost' means because he single/available means he has never played the game and not lost his heart anyone completely. I guess, as normal in a Rihanna song, the act of sleeping with the guy is the act of pulling the trigger and falling for him. 'close your eyes, sometimes it helps' is kissing etc The middle 8 is a bit intense, but can sadly also be true. ''Too late to pick up the value of my life'' is that feeling where you are no longer completely self dependent. That horrible feeling were you can't imagine having not met someone and that you are not complete without them. Sappy movies such as Jerry Maguire have made sentiment of this, but it is actually painful to be that in love with some one. Very interesting song because it barely strays from the metaphor and could almost be a literal meaning.

she needs to come back with more music. i can’t stand rihanna not making absolute bops

I wish i could go back to those years.... 13 years of nothingness followed, and now i cant recognize myself anymore or have a reason for living.....

When you came back after a few years and realise that Marcus from Detroit Become Human ( Jesse Williams) is starring in this video 😮

For me this song was a metaphor for when I was in an abusive relationship. I was playing Russian roulette. I never knew if today would be the day he killed me or not. I finally got out and never looked back.

Who's still feeling Rihanna in 2019 with these songs ?

13 anos dessa música que marcou minha adolescência, como passa rápido meu Deus 💔

This song hits harder when you got multiple exams on the same day or week.

Her acting skills are great cuz I felt like I was watching a movie.

Sorry me but this is fucking better than work...........

БОЖЕСТВЕННО! Спасибо огромное автору за такую возможность насладиться этой чудесной песней ! БРАВО , Рианна !

Its crazy how every time i listen to this, i think of the worst time in my life, but im somehow just happy im not there anymore ya know🤷‍♀️ Rihanna really made music for the heart and it never gets old🙌

Rihanna was ahead of time,no wonder she hasnt released an album in years. She gave us timeless classic music,more than a decade later and this song still hits hard 🥺🔥❤

My fave Rihanna song. Such a haunting yet timeless record. She sang her ass off too I love her voice 😍

Anyoneeeeeee in 2024?????????😅😅

13 years later i just watched it as new, am i alive in this community?

The way she related Russian Roulette to a relationship was AMAZING!

i just remember how beautiful this song is. And it's one of her most unique song because it can be interpreted in so many ways. It could be a song about abusive relationship, a song of contemplating to take your own life, or a song about struggling to free your self from vices or many more. it's a masterpiece

The car scene is so intense...

This song is still amazing 14 years later, so does the MV, it doesn't gets old ❤

2020 anyone?😎😌

''Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving. I know that I must pass this test.'' Ok me when I have a math exam lmao

This is THE best song by Rihanna

primeira vez que assisto o clipe da música (por incrível que pareça), apesar de tê-la ouvido várias vezes. Simplesmente impecável! E achei muito legal que o Jesse Williams participou do clipe

i remember listening to this at age 13 thinking i was all depressed LMAAOOO

Take a breath, take it deep Calm yourself, he says to me If you play, you play for keeps Take the gun, and count to three I'm sweating now, I'm moving slow No time to think, my turn to go And you can see my heart, beating You can see it through my chest Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger...) Say a prayer, to yourself He says, close your eyes, sometimes it helps And then I get, a scary thought That he's here, means he's never lost And you can see my heart, beating Now you can see it through my chest Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger As my life flashes before my eyes I'm wondering will I, ever see another sunrise? So many won't get the chance to say goodbye But it's too late to think of the value of my life And you can see my heart, beating Now you can see it through my chest Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no! I know that I must pass this test And you can see my heart, beating Oh, you can see it through my chest That I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no! I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger...)

Been listening to this song since it came out. 13 years an it’s still good af. I’m always so proud of her fr !!

Считаю, что клипом к этой песне должен был быть фрагмент из фильма жмурки

Now that I'm older and have experienced the darker sides of humanity I am able to appreciate the deeper meaning and significance of this song and the emotions behind it. It resonates with you on an entirely different level.. Wishing strength to all those who are fighting this fight.

2022, still coming back to hear this song. Amazing vocals!

I used to be obsessed with this song and video omg, I was a teenager 😢 and now as an adult I can’t be more obsessed then I was before! Rated R was her best Era! FR

Гениальная задумаа автора клипа на песню. Абсолютно всё гармонично, в меру. Нет ни единого перебора или недобора. Блин... Эти люди просто рождены создавать шоу индустртю... Впрочем они её и создают 😂 ❤ Я в полнейшем восторге, спустя столько лет.... Гениально!!! ❤

2017 gang where u at boiiii. 2018 October Still a banger 2019 and this shit still fkn dope 2020 and this is still top tier 2098 still fire

I personally think that this era of Rihanna was phenomenal, she's missed by the fan's, we wait for her comeback

13 years ago, if your watching this your a legend 💯💜

As a 14 year old girl Rihanna’s songs hit hard and I can relate to half of them ❤️

Even if it's old...I think it's Rihanna's best song.

2021 and I'm here, damn I miss Riri

*WIll forever be one of her best raw gut wrenching song in her discography*

14 years later but still feels like yesterday❤🎉 People were never ready for this hit🔥🎶🤞

I remember when this was a comment section not a calendar

Almost 10 years??? OMG!!! ❤❤❤

Who's still feeling Rihanna in 2024 with these songs?

2023? Anyone still listening to this masterpiece? 😩

This song deserves more than it got. It’s perfect for anyone dreading the next moment, day or week, because they’re hiding, because there’s no way to be happy or because there is only death to look forward to. The composition, the lyrics, the interlude, it’s all expertly crafted and delivered. Rihanna is a master of artistic execution. She is a talent like no other.

Wow. The way her voice is shaky like she's sad but damn that's what makes the song so beautiful. She was feeling it. Love this song. Def tops in my list of fave rihanna song.

This is one of her many songs that I would never get tired of!!!!

Ce sera toujours une œuvre incroyable de la grande Riri, je l’aimais quand j’étais plus jeune sans comprendre les paroles et je l’aime encore plus maintenant que je les comprends

This song feels like a cold war thriller story.

0% Bad words 0% Drugs 50% Naked 100% Talent 100% Good song

2023 e eu ainda amando 💗

Прошло столько времени, но до сих пор слушаю))

I really dont think that people understand how deep it is She compares realtionahips to a russian roulette..

No matter what hair style she has or what she's dressed in that is one Beautiful women with a beautiful voice to match!!!!😘😍🤣

Just a masterpiece, one of the best songs of Rihanna❤ April 2024

Жизнь как игра в Русскую рулетку👍🏻👍🏻Уже 2024 год всех с Новым Годом!Всем людям здравия!Терпения!Здоровья!!!🤝🏻

This song helped me through a lot the year it came out

The time when mainstream music wasn't utter bullshit.

All these years and I never realized Jesse Williams is in it 🙀😻

This song hits harder now than when it first came out.

❤World's best classical singer

She’s honestly a goddess

This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.

I workout listening to this song over and over...and it gives me so much strenght

I'm not usually into mainstream acts but Rihanna is an exception, such a talented lady

The moment you realised Jessie Williams aka Dr. Avery is in this music Video, as hot as always

Linda música 🎶

Take a breath, take it deep "Calm yourself", he says to me If you play, you play for keeps Take the gun and count to three I’m sweating now, moving slow No time to think, my turn to go [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger,...) [Verse 2] Say a prayer to yourself He says, "Close your eyes" Sometimes it helps And then I get a scary thought That he’s here, means he’s never lost [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating Oh you can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger [Bridge] As my life flashes before my eyes I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise? So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye But it’s too late to think of the value of my life [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating Ouh-oh, you can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no I know that I must pass this test You can see my heart beating Oh you can see it through my chest I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no no I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger,...)

You know your childhood was lit If you come back to watch 2000 RnB songs

Take a breath, take it deep Calm yourself, he says to me If you play, you play for keeps Take a gun, and count to three I’m sweating now, moving slow No time to think, my turn to go And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving Know that I must must pass this test So just pull the trigger Say a prayer to yourself He says close your eyes Sometimes it helps And then I get a scary thought That he’s here means he’s never lost And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving Know that I must must pass this test So just pull the trigger As my life flashes before my eyes I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?

Anyone else on a Rihanna marathon?!!!

2023 atemporal esse clip.

This is one of the best Rihanna's music songs! I love it!

Best rihanna song for my opinion

It’s crazy I didn’t appreciated this song and video back in the days when it came out. Watching it today I can see it is an amazing video and the song really hits hard. Much love to Rihanna she is amazing

My favorite song ever❤😢love u Rihanna

Rated R was the best of all. As far from generic pop of it's time as it could be, with drama and pain streaming through almost every song.

LYRICS [Verse 1] Take a breath, take it deep "Calm yourself," he says to me If you play, you play for keeps Take the gun and count to three I’m sweating now, moving slow No time to think, my turn to go [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (Trigger, trigger, trigger) [Verse 2] Say a prayer to yourself He says, "Close your eyes Sometimes it helps" And then I get a scary thought That he’s here, means he’s never lost [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating Oh, you can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving Know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger [Bridge] As my life flashes before my eyes I’m wondering, will I ever see another sunrise? So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye But it’s too late to think of the value of my life [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating Ouh-oh, you can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no Know that I must pass this test You can see my heart beating Oh, you can see it through my chest I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no, no Know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (Trigger, trigger, trigger)

Just cried listening to this in 2023…. It got me thru some times and we right back and this gem just reminded me of my fearless strength… i will survive

Now this one will always be one of my favorites ❤ idk it reminds me of all the brain surgeries I’ve had for epilepsy and they just asked if i would consider another 🤦🏽‍♀️

If you think about it this song is so deep

When I was young this song got me , like it still makes me emotional
