'ANTI' Just Understands Your Life, OK?

How many times have you listened to ANTI since the album was released early on Tidal on Wednesday night? If you can actually supply a numerical answer, then the real answer is, "Not enough times." When Rihanna released ANTI, Tidal exclusive or no Tidal exclusive, she was giving us the gift of great music to carry us through our day and into the weekend. However, that's not the only thing that the words of ANTI will carry us through. There are ANTI lyrics for every life situation, because, naturally, Rihanna gets us. She gets us so well that even her songs that appear to be about one thing can be applied to another thing. Rihanna's words are universal, and her music is catchy enough that her message will stick in your head long after you're forced to take out your headphones and actually deal with the world.

In all honesty, you can pretty much take anything and apply it to be about anything. It's not like it's hard. But when it comes to a pop star like the unapologetic Rihanna, her words can be applied to the types of situations that would normally make us want to crawl back into bed and do nothing. They can be applied to the types of situations that make us want to crawl into someone else's bed and do something. They can be applied to the types of situations that make us want to order takeout and stay in our homes just listening to ANTI on repeat. Check out the ANTI lyrics that totally apply to these 11 life situations, and know that it's just a small sample of the universality of Rihanna's lyrics.
