"You da One" is a song by Barbadian singer Rihanna recorded for her sixth studio album, Talk That Talk (2011). It was co-written by Rihanna with Ester Dean, Henry Walter, John Hill and Lukasz Gottwald. Production of the song was completed by Gottwald, under his production name Dr. Luke, and Cirkut. Kuk Harrell and Marcas Tovar recorded the track at the Sofital Paris Le Laubourg, Room 538, and Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California. It premiered on US radio on November 11, 2011, and was made available to download digitally throughout Europe and Australasia on November 14, 2011. It was added to US Mainstream, rhythmic and urban radio station playlists on November 29, 2011. Throughout December 2011 and January 2012, a remix extended play (EP) was released worldwide.

Musically, "You Da One" is a mid-tempo{{cite web|last=Copsey|first=Robert|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/thesound/a350264/rihannas-new-album-talk-that-talk-first-listen.html|title=Rihanna's new album 'Talk That Talk': First listen|publisher=Digital Spy.

It also features a dubstep bridge before the final chorus. It garnered positive reviews from music critics, many of whom complimented the West Indian and Caribbean tone, and compared it to "What's My Name?" and "Man Down", from her previous studio album Loud (2010). The song achieved moderate chart success; it peaked at number one on the US Dance Club Songs and number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally, it peaked inside the top 10 in New Zealand and the UK Hip Hop and R&B Singles Chart, and attained top twenty positions in Canada, Hungary, Norway and Sweden.

To promote the song, an accompanying music video was shot in east London and directed by Melina Matsoukas. It was inspired by the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange, and premiered on December 23, 2011. It was mainly shot in black and white, and features Rihanna in a variety of different set ups, such as in a photo shoot and a lyric video game. At various points, lyrics are stamped across the video as Rihanna sings them. Hours after the release of the video, Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø accused Rihanna and Matsoukas of plagiarism, suggesting that the scene featuring the singer wearing a white outfit with black dots was deliberately copied from his 2008 montage "Numero 93".

During an interview with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Rihanna revealed that she found "You da One" to be highly addictive to listen to after she heard the final cut, saying {{" '}}You da One' is one of those records that became very addictive for me.

Rihanna's vocal range spans one octave from the low note of B♭3 to the high note of B♭4 on the song. According to Bradley Stern of MTV, the song's musical structure bore a resemblance to Britney Spears' "Inside Out", writing that Rihanna "gets squeezed between a killer dubstep-to-death breakdown, not unlike the ex-sexin' jam Dr. Luke crafted for Britney's 'Femme Fatale' cut."{{cite web|last=Stern|first=Bradley|url=http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2011/11/11/rihanna-you-da-one/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112073935/http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2011/11/11/rihanna-you-da-one/|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 12, 2011|title=New Song: Rihanna, 'You Da One'|publisher=MTV.

The lyrics to "You da One" are about a stable and comfortable relationship, which can be heard in the lyrics "You know how to love me hard / I won't lie, I'm falling hard / Yup, I'm falling for ya, but there's nothing wrong with that." Michael Cragg of The Guardian explained some of the lyrics in the song as part of his review, writing "It's perhaps less immediate, but there's a lovely pre-chorus of {{'}}My love is your love, your love is my love{{'}} that leads into a refrain about how great it is to have found someone decent, ({{'}}I'm so happy that you came in my life{{'}}).{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2011/nov/11/first-listen-rihanna-album|title=First listen: Rihanna – Talk That Talk|work=The Guardian|publisher=Guardian News and Media|date=2011-11-11|access-date=2011-11-17|location=London|first=Michael|last=Cragg}}

Critical reception

"You da One" garnered positive reviews from music critics. In regards to the song's sexually lewd demeanor, Jocelyn Vena of MTV News felt that Rihanna embodied a "potty-mouthed sex kitten"; Vena continued to write that the song is the most radio friendly on Talk That Talk, despite the excessive use of "NSFW lyrics".{{cite web|last=Vena|first=Jocelyn|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1674107/rihanna-you-da-one-single.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112001518/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1674107/rihanna-you-da-one-single.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 12, 2011|title=Rihanna Declares 'You Da One' On Next Single|publisher=MTV News|date=2011-11-10|access-date=2011-11-11}} Robert Copsey for Digital Spy praised the song, writing that it is "bouncy" and is "oozing with Caribbean flavor". The song was also positively reviewed by Sadao Turner of On Air with Ryan Seacrest, who said that "'You da One' is a radio-friendly record with island influence teeming with pop goodness and that signature Rihanna sound that carries across a dancefloor".{{cite web|url=http://ryanseacrest.com/2011/11/11/listen-to-rihannas-second-new-single-you-da-one-audio/|title=Rihanna Premieres 'You Da One' As 'A Sweet Little Love Letter' [AUDIO]|publisher=Ryan Seacrest|date=2012-03-07|access-date=2011-11-11}} Amanda Dobbins of Vulture wrote that "You da One" and "We Found Love" are "relatively PG" compared to other songs on Talk That Talk.{{cite news|last=Dobbins|first=Amanda|url=http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/11/leaked-rihanna-talk-that-talk.html|title=Leaked: Rihanna Does in Fact Enjoy R-Rated Activities|work=Vulture|publisher=New York Media, LLC|date=2011-11-14|access-date=2011-11-14}} Entertainment Weekly{{'}}s Melissa Maerz praised the song, writing that "You da One" is "the perfect opener to set the tone for an album that embraces Caribbean rhythms, reggae, and pulsing house beats." Maerz continued to call the song "an island-breezy tribute to some guy who's got [Rihanna] 'dreaming all the time'." Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine noted that the song is similar to some of Rihanna's previous dancehall influenced songs, such as "What's My Name?" and "Man Down", from her previous studio album Loud (2010). Leah Collins of Dose praised the lyrics in the song which she described as "lovey-dovey and most definitely radio-friendly."{{cite web|last=Collins|first=Leah|url=http://www.dose.ca/music/Listen+Rihanna+Debuts+Single/5697182/story.html?cid=dose_nav_drop|title=Listen: Rihanna Debuts New Single 'You Da One'|work=Dose|date=2011-11-16|access-date=2011-11-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112135011/http://www.dose.ca/music/Listen+Rihanna+Debuts+Single/5697182/story.html?cid=dose_nav_drop|archive-date=2011-11-12|url-status=dead}}

Andrew Martin of Prefix Magazine commented on the infectiousness of the song, writing that once it has been listened to, it is hard to stop thinking about it.{{cite news|last=Martin|first=Andrew|url=http://www.prefixmag.com/media/rihanna/you-da-one/58534/|title=Rihanna: 'You Da One'|work=Prefix Magazine|date=2011-11-11|access-date=2011-11-16}} Martin continued to praise the "sugary sweetness of the song", but criticized the incorporation of the dubstep breakdown toward the end of the song, citing that the reason as to why it was included was to try and make the song "even bigger". Michael Cragg of The Guardian also noted that the song has a relaxed feel to it, and compared it to some of the singer's previous dancehall songs, "What's My Name?" and "Rude Boy". A reviewer for Spin criticized the song, writing "[Rihanna] is giving us a half-limp reggae jam full of platitudes like, {{'}}[You da] one I dream about all day{{'}}." The reviewer continued to write that there is "more chaste" on "You da One" than there was presented on Britney Spears' guest vocal on "S&M".

Music video

=Background and synopsis=

File:Rihanna-you-da-one-video-500x322.jpg

The music video for "You da One" was filmed on November 30, 2011, at MC Motors in Dalston, East London.{{cite web|last=Gibson|first=Tom|title=Music Video Location|url=http://www.castlegibson.com/2012/01/rihanna-you-da-one/|publisher=Castle Gibson|access-date=24 January 2012}} It was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who also directed the controversial video for her previous single, "We Found Love".{{cite web|title=Rihanna gets fanged grill for You Da One video|url=http://www.mtvasia.com/news/rihanna-gets-fanged-grill-for-you-da-one-video|work=MTV Asia|date=24 February 2012|access-date=17 July 2012}} In the first images from the London set, Rihanna sported short blonde hair, torn denim shorts, patterned leggings, and a white bowler 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2011/11/30/rihanna-goes-blonde-in-you-da-one-video/|title=Rihanna Goes Blonde in 'You Da One' Video|work=Rap-Up|access-date=17 July 2012|archive-date=March 10, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310074216/http://www.rap-up.com/2011/11/30/rihanna-goes-blonde-in-you-da-one-video/|url-status=dead}} It premiered on December 23, 2011.{{cite magazine|last=Lipshutz|first=Jason|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/viral-videos/464669/rihannas-you-da-one-video-giant-balls-and-bowler-hats|title=Rihanna's 'You Da One' Video: Giant Balls and Bowler Hats|magazine=Billboard|access-date=18 December 2011}}

The clip is partly a photo shoot and a lyric video as lyrics are stamped across the screen and Rihanna's body, and was shot mainly in black and white.{{cite web|last=Young|first=Alex|title=Video: Rihanna – "You Da One"|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2011/12/video-rihanna-you-da-one/|publisher=Consequence of Sound|access-date=18 December 2011}} She wears numerous outfits and blonde wigs throughout the video as she emulates the clothes from A Clockwork Orange by wearing a white bowler hat and cane from Laird Hatters, sporting a smoky eye in homage, and smacking her pink pouty lips with bubble gum.{{cite web|last=Cline|first=Georgette|title=Rihanna 'You da One' Video Finds Her Gyrating, Smacking Lips|url=http://www.theboombox.com/2011/12/23/rihanna-you-da-one-video/|work=The Boombox|publisher=AOL|access-date=18 December 2011}} Rihanna later strips down to a flesh-coloured leotard as she writhes on the floor with strategically placed artistic shards of light to create leopard spots and tiger stripes on her skin. Several scenes capture solely her mouth; first with a gold grill covering her bottom row of teeth, and later with smoke billowing from her lips transitioning into and out of the words "Dream" and later "You Da One".{{cite web|url=http://idolator.com/6121262/rihannas-you-da-one-video-is-aces|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130126005544/http://idolator.com/6121262/rihannas-you-da-one-video-is-aces|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 26, 2013|title=Rihanna Is Aces In Her 'You Da One' Video|work=Idolator|access-date=18 December 2011}} Another scene finds Rihanna in a white tank top and tattered jean shorts, swinging a cane in between two brick buildings. She continuously exudes sexuality; in several scenes, she touches and thrusts her crotch (reminiscent of Michael Jackson's dance moves, as noted by Jason Lipshutz of Billboard), struts toward the camera with a pimp cane, endorses provocative dance moves, and drapes herself over a giant ball. Using the latter move, she is found in a black and white chequered background room where she moves around a larger than life playing card. The video ends with Rihanna running away from the camera and jumping into a chair, throwing her legs over the side with a smile on her face.

=Reception and plagiarism allegations=

A reviewer for Idolator described the video as "glorious." Amy Sciarretto for PopCrush wrote "Judging from the song's official video, it is, since RiRi can’t keep her hands to herself. The black and white video features the newly blond singer cavorting in an array of black and white outfits, dancing, smiling, giggling and grabbing her crotch with a great degree of regularity."{{cite web|url=http://popcrush.com/rihanna-you-da-one-video/|title=Rihanna goes blonde and touches herself (a lot) in 'You da One' video|date=December 23, 2011 |publisher=PopCrush|access-date=17 July 2012}} Hours after the release of the video, Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø alleged that the scene of Rihanna wearing a white outfit with black dots shining on her (pictured) is the same as a photo shoot he completed in 2008 titled "Numero 93'".{{cite web|url=http://idolator.com/6121562/did-rihannas-you-da-one-video-plagiarize-another-photographer|title=Did Rihanna's 'You Da One' Music Video Plagiarize Another Photographer?|work=Idolator|date=23 December 2011|access-date=December 23, 2011|archive-date=April 5, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160405045621/http://www.idolator.com/6121562/did-rihannas-you-da-one-video-plagiarize-another-photographer|url-status=dead}} A reviewer for Idolator wrote that "the evidence really doesn’t look to be in Rihanna's favor." The reviewer continued to write "Not only are the projected shapes similar, but both Rihanna and the model are wearing nearly-identical body suits and wigs (though the color differs). Plus, those pink lips providing the only splash of color also look pretty familiar." A reviewer for The Huffington Post concurred with Idolator's observations, and noted "The nakedness, the projections, the interplay of light and shadow... even the haircut" were very similar to that of the work by Sundsbo.{{cite news|first=Priscilla|last=Frank|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/23/does-rihannas-you-da-one-_n_1168069.html|title=Watch: Rihanna's New Video Rips Off Famous Photographer...
