“Work” has been Rihanna’s biggest hit this year and interesting enough, it almost went to Alicia Keys, this according to PartyNextDoor who co-wrote the hit.
“Her label didn’t care for Caribbean music at the time,” Party told The New York Times regarding Rihanna’s team almost passing on ‘Work.’ Party says he considered keeping the track for himself, then almost passed it along to Alicia Keys, but in the end, Rihanna fought hard for it. “She said, ‘This is my family’s favorite song,’” he added.
It’s a good thing Rihanna held on to the track. “Work” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Rihanna’s fourteenth number one single. That’s definitely nothing to scoff at.
Party also went on to discuss his relationship with Drake. “I openly share music with Drake, especially when it’s time for him to have a project…I have an older brother I can text anytime, someone who’s super invested because my name is tied into his. It’s just creatives cooking. If he sees something in a song of mine that he feels he can spin around and make better, who am I to say I’m going to selfishly keep it? As a fan of music, that’s wrong,” he told Times.
