Rihanna Rehab

“Rehab” is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna for her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). Def Jam Recordings serviced the song to contemporary hit radio in the United States on October 6, 2008, as the eighth and final single from the album. It was released in the United Kingdom as a CD single on December 8, 2008.

Development of “Rehab” began while Rihanna was accompanying Timbaland on Justin Timberlake’s FutureSex/LoveShow tour in 2007. Timberlake wrote the song in collaboration with his producers, Hannon Lane and Timbaland, and provided additional vocals. “Rehab” is a mid-paced R&B song with an emotional, melancholy chorus; the lyrics are about the protagonist’s painful memories of her former lover, who is portrayed metaphorically as a disease.

“Rehab” reached top-ten positions on the singles charts in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Norway. It reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart and number 18 on the US Billboard magazine’s Hot 100. It was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Anthony Mandler directed the accompanying music video, which was shot in Vasquez Rocks Park, near Los Angeles. It won the Urban Music Award for Best Music Video. Rihanna performed “Rehab” on the Good Girl Gone Bad Tour (2007–09), and occasionally on the Last Girl on Earth (2010–11).

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rihanna]
Baby, baby, when we first met
I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover and my best friend
All wrapped into one, with a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden, you went and left
I didn’t know how to follow
It’s like a shot that spun me around and now my heart left
I feel so empty and hollow

[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
And I’ll never give myself to another the way I gave it to you
Don’t even recognize the ways you hurt me, do you?
It’s gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you’re the one to blame

[Chorus: Rihanna]
And now I feel like, oh, you’re the reason why I’m thinking
I don’t wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that’s what I get for wishful thinking
I should’ve never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it (Do it)
‘Cause now I’m using like I bleed

[Post-Chorus: Rihanna]
It’s like I checked into rehab
Baby, you’re my disease
It’s like I checked into rehab
Baby, you’re my disease
I gotta check into rehab
‘Cause baby, you’re my disease
I gotta check into rehab
‘Cause baby, you’re my disease

[Verse 2: Rihanna]
Damn, ain’t it crazy when you’re love swept?
You’ll do anything for the one you love
‘Cause anytime that you needed me, I’d be there
It’s like you were my favorite drug
The only problem is that you was using me
In a different way that I was using you
But now that I know it’s not meant to be
You gotta go, I gotta wean myself off of you

[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
And I’ll never give myself to another the way I gave it to you
Don’t even recognize the ways you hurt me, do you?
It’s gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you’re the one to blame

[Chorus: Rihanna]
‘Cause now I feel like, oh, you’re the reason why I’m thinking
I don’t wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that’s what I get for wishful thinking
I should’ve never let you enter my door (Let you enter my door)
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it (Do it)
‘Cause now I’m using like I bleed (Using like I bleed)

[Post-Chorus: Rihanna]
It’s like I checked into rehab (Oh)
Baby, you’re my disease (You’re my disease)
It’s like I checked into rehab
Baby, you’re my disease
I gotta check into rehab (Oh)
‘Cause baby, you’re my disease (You’re my disease)
I gotta check into rehab
‘Cause baby, you’re my disease

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake & Rihanna]
Now ladies, gimme that
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, now gimme that
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Now ladies, gimme that
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, now gimme that
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
Oh, you’re the reason why I’m thinking
I don’t wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that’s what I get for wishful thinking
I should’ve never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it (Do it)
‘Cause now I’m using like I bleed

[Chorus: Rihanna]
It’s like I checked into rehab (Oh)
Baby, you’re my disease
It’s like I checked into rehab
Baby, you’re my disease
I gotta check into rehab (Oh)
‘Cause baby, you’re my disease
I gotta check into rehab
‘Cause baby, you’re my disease
