“You Da One” is the second single by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, taken from her sixth studio album, Talk That Talk.

The song was written by Ester Dean, Dr. Luke, Rihanna, John Hill and Cirkut, while production of the song was handled by Dr. Luke and Cirkut.

“You Da One” is a mid-tempo pop and electropop song, with elements of other musical genres, including dancehall and reggae.

The music video for “You Da One” was planned to be shot in London before the end of 2011. However, Rihanna later announced via her official Twitter profile that she would be shooting it on November 26 and 27, 2011, in Northern Ireland. The video for her previous single, “We Found Love”, which sparked controversy, was also shot there.

In the first images from the London set, Rihanna used a short blonde wig, torn denim shorts, patterned leggings, and a white top hat. She held a black cane as she performed scenes in front of a bright pink wall in the visuals inspired by the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.

Lyrics for Rihanna – You Da One

[Intro]
You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

[Rihanna:]
Baby, I love you, I need you here
Give me all the time
Baby we meant to be
You got me, smiling all the time

Cause you know how to give me that
You know how to pull me back
When I go runnin, runnin
Tryin’ to get away from loving ya
You know how to love me hard
I won’t lie, I’m falling hard
Yep, I’m falling for ya but there’s nothin wrong with that

[Chorus:]
You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine

[Rihanna:]
Baby come, tear me now, hold me now
Make me come alive
You got the sweetest touch
I’m so happy, you came in my life

Cause you know how to give me that
You know how to pull me back
When I go runnin, runnin
Tryin’ to get away from loving ya
You know how to love me hard
I won’t lie, I’m falling hard
Yep, I’m falling for ya but there’s nothin wrong with that

[Chorus:]
You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine

[Bridge:]
And Yes I’m kinda crazy,
That’s what happens baby,
When you put it down
You should’ve give it to me
Good like that,
Should’ve hit it like that,
Had me yellin’ like that
Didn’t know you would’ve had me coming back

You the one that i’m feeling
You the one that i’m loving
Ain’t no other, that’s like you
No there’s just one, one, one
No baby just one, one
I bet you wanna know

[Chorus:]
You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine
