The single starred on Rihanna’s album Talk That Talk as well as Harris’ 18 Months, and stands as RiRi’s biggest single in Australia having hit six times platinum. It also spent 10 weeks at Number. 1 on the Billboard charts, and currently holds close to 600 million views on YouTube.
Rihanna recently joined Harris onstage at Coachella’s first weekend to perform the single live, and the performance has been conveniently followed by news that the two will team up once again. Harris has just announced that his next single will be titled ‘This Is What You Came For’ featuring Rihanna – and it’s arriving tomorrow.

Given the history between these two, we won’t be surprised if Harris drops another inescapable pop-laced banger – especially seeing as the world is still feeling the effects of Rihanna’s excellent eight album ANTI. Stay tuned until tomorrow to hear ‘This Is What You Came For’ in full, and meanwhile, give ‘We Found Love’ another spin and transport yourself back to the simpler times of 2011:
