Rihanna – We Found Love (Single) Lyrics

R&B

Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

It's the way I'm feeling, I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Shine a light through an open door
Love and life, I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind

It's the way I'm feeling, I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine (mine, mine, mine)

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

About This Song

"We Found Love (Single)" is a euphoric dance-pop anthem about finding intense romance in a chaotic, destructive environment, with Rihanna singing over Calvin Harris's pulsing electronic production. The song explores the intoxicating rush of passionate love that blooms in "hopeless places," capturing both the exhilaration and pain of a relationship that feels essential yet potentially damaging. Musically, it blends EDM's driving four-on-the-floor beat with Rihanna's soaring vocals, creating an irresistible club-ready sound that helped bridge pop and electronic dance music. The lyrics convey the desperation and vulnerability of loving someone so deeply that losing them feels like losing yourself entirely. This track became a defining moment in early 2010s pop, showcasing how electronic music could carry profound emotional weight while dominating both radio and dancefloors worldwide.

    Man it's super hard to understand this song coz it's so clear she found love, why does she have to let it go? my only answer is that saying "if u love smth let it go, If it comes bak then u know" so yer I guess they did fin love in a hopeless place but it was to frail to grow ao she gotta let it go

After reading that chris brown tweeted 'sometimes u find love in the most hopeless place' it's so obvious she could b talkin bout him, fuck it even if she isn't, that's what he is thinking so we'll run with that!! K so it's about chris, they found love in a hopeless place- earth!? Lol but yer n she couldn't deny it but shit went down as per usual and now it's all ova so she gotta let it go!!
