  General Comment:Also, people who say Rihanna made this song to piss of Chris Brown, or that she has forgotten her own name and that is what this song is about, or that she should have self respect and stop talking about her sex life in songs... all of you are a bit thick. She never even wrote the song, she has no control over the meanings of her songs.

  My Interpretation:I think the meaning of the song is extremely simple, and all of you are confusing yourselves way too much.
  
  Drake and Rihanna do not know eachother. They have hooked up because Drake has been told that Rihanna is good in bed... they have sex. Afterwards, he sends her a text saying "What's my name?"
  
  Soon as you go the text that I write is gonna say
  Oh na na
  What's my name?
  
  So clearly while they were having sex she was screaming his name. And afterwards he texts her this as a flirty little message to remind her of how much she enjoyed it.
  
  The rest of the song is just her talking about how good he was in bed...
  
  You so amazing
  You took the time to figure me out
  That's why you take me
  Way past the point of turning me on
  You 'bout to break me
  I swear you got me losing my mind
  
  This part simply means that he was amazing in bed, and bothered to figure out what she likes sexually. It doesn't mean that they got into any kind of relationship.
  
  There are references to oral sex ("go downtown with a girl like me"), anal ("every door you enter I will let you in"), oral again ("square root of 69 is ate something"). There are also many other references to sex, including:
  
  I need a boy to take it over
  Looking for a guy to put in work
  (She wants him to be dominant)
  
  Back and forth you rock me
  (Self explanatory)
  
  And of course the whole Drake part is about sex with her.
  
  The song is only about sex, nothing else. Stop worrying, and getting confused everybody. He texts her after the sex asking her "what's my name" because she was screaming it all the way through. Simple.

    2 things are true about modern pop music. The first being that in every song there is an intended layer of sexual undertone, and the second being an even less detectable layer of satanic influence. I weep for our generation.

  My Opinion:all right all right we get it we get it...you're pissed at chris brown so you made a whole CD about how you want to have freaky sex with all these new guys and he should be jealous. enough already!

  My Interpretation:This song makes absolutely on sense. It can't make up its mind about what story it is telling and I often find myself wondering if they are even singing about the same person.
  
  On one hand, you have Drake saying "I heard you good with them soft lips. Yeah, you know, word of mouth." In other words, they didn't really know each other and were probably not more than acquaintances, and he heard from some people that she is easy. Him saying "word of mouth" is a double entendre. It's a play toward oral sex while also meaning a rumor. Initially, his part of the song can be summed up like so: "Hey, I heard you put out. I have some good weed and wine if you wanna come spend the night with me."
  
  Then we have Rihanna and she has to be singing about someone completely different! The man she sings about is someone who is above the normal man and is irreplaceable. They have amazing emotional AND sexual chemistry and she's really loving that. The man is "so amazing" and "took the time to figure her out," after all. But how could that lyric be aimed toward Drake's character? He took the time to figure out that she's pretty much a guaranteed lay?

    Yeah, you're totally right. That's actually pretty funny, that last part that you wrote about finding out she's easy. However, maybe we have to consider that her character is really that shallow and only requires that little bit of knowledge to be understood. I think they're definitely on the wrong page with each other, but that doesn't mean that what they're saying isn't meant for each other.

    I think you're reading to deep into this. It's pop music after all and should be taken at face value. Exactly how many pop songs have you heard that were really deep?

  Song Meaning:Ok, so Rihanna and Drkae start out by meeting.
  He texts her and asks her "What's your name?" then they continue talking whatever whatever and they get to no eachother before they start to hook up "You took the time to figure me out that's why you take me way past the point of turning me on" and then she's saying "What's my name?" to be like do you still remember me? like am I still in your mind.

  General Comment:Its ok if u dont read too much into it. Its obvious what its about and its not exactly a topic on everyones lips. Well, i hope not anyway LOL no seriously its a great song if you're not actually paying attention :)
  
  I thought it sounded like "go long time with a girl like me" but its hard to tell.
