"Don't Stop the Music" is a song by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna taken from her third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). The song was written by Tawanna Dabney, Michael Jackson, Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen and was produced by the later two under their stage name Stargate. It was released as the album's fourth single on September 7, 2007 worldwide. "Don't Stop the Music" is a dance-pop song and features a wide variety of rhythmic devices used mainly in hip hop music. The song samples the line, "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa" which is taken from Jackson's 1983 single "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". For the use of the line, both Rihanna and Jackson faced a lawsuit from the Cameroonian musician Manu Dibango, who claimed that the hook is originally from his 1972 song "Soul Makossa".
"Don't Stop the Music" received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics with many of them praising the interpolation of the "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa" hook into the song. The song was nominated for several accolades, eventually winning the award for Best International Song at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards. It was commercial success, reaching number-one in over ten countries worldwide including Australia, Austria, France, Germany and Switzerland. "Don't Stop the Music" peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and at number one on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart. The song was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping more than 3 million copies.
Anthony Mandler shot the accompanying music video for the song in Prague, the Czech Republic. It features Rihanna together with two of her friends sneaking into the back of a candy store where is a secret club. Other scenes include Rihanna partying with the people in the club. Since its release, "Don't Stop the Music" has become a staple of Rihanna's live performances. It was part of the set list of her three major tours, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007–09), Last Girl on Earth (2010–11) and the Loud Tour (2011). English recording artist Jamie Cullum recorded a jazz version of the song for his 2009 studio album The Pursuit.

[edit] Background and release
"Don't Stop the Music" was composed and produced by the Norwegian production duo Stargate, with additional writing by Tawanna Dabney and Michael Jackson.[2] Stargate had produced Rihanna's previous singles "Unfaithful" (2006) and "Hate That I Love You" (2007). "Don't Stop the Music" was recorded at Battery Studios in New York City and Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, and was mixed by Phil Tan.[3] The song samples the hook "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa", which is from Michael Jackson's 1983 single from Thriller, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'".[4] In February, 2009, Cameroonian musician Manu Dibango filed a lawsuit claiming that both "Don't Stop the Music" and "Wanna Be Startin' Something" used the hook without his permission.[1] Dibango said that the line is from his 1972 single "Soul Makossa". According to Agence France-Presse, Jackson admitted that he borrowed the line and settled the case with Dibango out of court.[1] However, when Rihanna had asked Jackson in 2007 for permission to sample the hook, he had approved the demand without contacting Dibango. His lawyers brought the case before a Parisian court, demanding €500,000 in damages that should have been paid by Sony BMG, EMI and Warner Music until the issue was resolved.[1]
The song was released as fourth single from Rihanna's third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). Before its official single release, two separate promotional remixes of the song were added to digital outlets on August 7, 2007 in both Canada and Unites States; the Solitaire's More Drama and The Wideboys Club Mix.[5][6] On September 7, 2007, an extended play of "Don't Stop the Music" was released via iTunes in certain territories including Australia, Austria, Italy, Japan, New Zealand and Spain.[7] It contains The Wideboys Club Mix, the album version of the song, and its instrumental.[7] On the same date, "Don't Stop the Music" was released as a CD single in Germany containing the same material as the extended play together with the music video of the song.[8] In October 2007, it was also released as a CD single in France.[9] Def Jam Recordings sent the song for airplay on contemporary hit radio in the United States on January 13, 2008.[10] On January 20, 2008, it was also sent to rhythmic contemporary radio stations.[11] Nine remixes, including the album version of "Don't Stop the Music", were released to digital outlets in some territories on May 14, 2008.[12]

"Don't Stop the Music" is a dance-pop and techno song that runs for 4 minutes and 27 seconds.[4][12][13] According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, it is written in the key of F#minor and set in common time, with a moderate groove.[14] Rihanna's vocal range spans from the low note of F#3 to A4.[14] Bill Lamb from About.com commented that, "Rihanna's sometimes thin vocals are mixed for optimum room filling sound and will encourage you to sing along."[15] The song features a wide variety of rhythmic devices used mainly in hip hop music.[4] Its instrumentation includes a bass drum that provides every single beat as Rihanna intersperses the melody. From the very beginning, the song utilizes syncopation and samples many different rhythms, which are layered on top of each other.[4] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine, compared the song's composition to Rihanna's 2006 single "SOS".[16] The line, "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa", was sampled from Michael Jackson's 1983 post-disco song "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", to create a "pulsating musical structure".[4] Lyrically, "Don't Stop the Music" is about mutual attraction between a lady and man who meet each other on the dance-floor.[17] Shaun Newport from British music website musicOMH, concluded that the song is actually about Rihanna's affair with the music, which can be seen during the lines "DJ let it play, I just can't refuse it, like the way you do this. Keep on rockin' to it".[17]
[edit] Reception and accolades
"Don't Stop the Music" received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics with many of them praising the interpolation of the "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa" hook. Tom Breihan from Pitchfork Media called the song an amazing bit of euroclub insanity combined with synth and bass.[18] He further commented that the hook from Jackson's 1983 song "come[s] in and seamlessly blur into the track's overpowering beat".[18] Bill Lamb from About.com praised the song and stated that "Don't Stop the Music" is "fantastic for clubs if a little repetitive for pop radio play".[15] Lamb also concluded that no matter how the song will chart place, it represents another strong success for Rihanna's career.[15] Nick Levine from Digital Spy also praised the song while calling it brilliant and unwitting. He continued that the "Don't Stop the Music" is the best single that can have a Jackson's writing credit since his 1997 single "Blood on the Dance Floor".[19] MusicOMH's Shaun Newport also stated that the "ethno-centric 'Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa' hook, as well as his idiosyncratic, explosive yelps provide backing vocals and bring a little retro magic to the proceedings."[17] In a review of Good Girl Gone Bad, Jackie Hayden from Hot Press initially added that Jackson's ghost from "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" could be heard all over the single.[13] According to a reviewer from The New York Times in "Don't Stop the Music", Rihanna finds the exuberance in a rather severe techno beat.[20] Quentin B. Huff from PopMatters, concluded "the song that follows, the Michael Jackson-sampling “Don’t Stop the Music”, inspires the type of tail feather shaking you can only produce when you’re chanting, 'Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa'."[21]
"Don't Stop the Music" won the accolade for Best International Song at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards.[22] At the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, "Don't Stop the Music" got a nomination for Single of the Year, but lost to Jonas Brothers' 2008 song "When You Look Me in the Eyes".[23] It received a nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 50th Grammy Awards, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on February 10, 2008. "Don't Stop the Music" lost to "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows Interlude" (2007) by American recording artist Justin Timberlake.[24] The song was also nominated at the Best Favorite Song at the 2009 Kids' Choice Awards.[25] However, it lost to Beyoncé Knowles' 2008 single "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".[26]
