Umbrella (2007)
For many years, Umbrella was Rihanna’s most iconic and instantly recognizable song. It was released in 2007 on her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad. Jay-Z featured on the track and helped to write it, and the song was initially intended for Britney Spears, but her label declined it, paving the way for Rihanna to take center stage. Featuring elements of hip hop, R&B, and even rock, Umbrella focuses on a positive romantic relationship and mutual care.
