"Rehab"
Song

"Rehab" is a song by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, released as the eighth and final single from her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). It was written by Justin Timberlake, Hannon Lane and Timbaland, and produced by Lane and Timbaland. The development of "Rehab" began while Rihanna was accompanying Timbaland on Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour in 2007. Timberlake sings background vocals. The chorus is sung in an emotional, melancholic style. The song's lyrics are directed at the narrator's painful memories of her former lover, who is metaphorically portrayed as a disease. "Rehab" is a mid-paced R&B song with a subtle beat.

Def Jam Recordings released the song to contemporary hit radio in the United States on October 6, 2008. It was released as a CD single on December 8, 2008, in the United Kingdom. Critics wrote both positive and negative reviews, some comparing it to Justin Timberlake's 2007 single "What Goes Around... Comes Around". "Rehab" peaked inside the top ten positions on the official charts in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Slovakia. The song reached number sixteen on the UK Singles Chart, and number eighteen on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The accompanying music video was directed by Anthony Mandler and was filmed in Vasquez Rocks Park, near Los Angeles, and features Rihanna and Timberlake as a couple who engage in sexual activity in a desert. The video won the award for Best Music Video at the 2009 Urban Music Awards. Rihanna performed "Rehab" at the 2008 American Music Awards, on the Good Girl Gone Bad Tour (2007–09), and occasionally on the Last Girl on Earth Tour (2010–11).

As stated by Rihanna, Timberlake (pictured) wrote song's lyrics "in his head. He didn't write anything on paper. He went into the booth and sang it."[1]

The development of "Rehab" began while Rihanna was accompanying Timbaland, who was a special guest at some dates on Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour in 2007.[1] After performing a show in Chicago, Rihanna and Timberlake went to a studio and began working together. Shortly afterwards, they went to a studio in New York City, where he began writing a song for her.[1] Hannon Lane co-wrote and co-produced the single.[2] Timbaland and Timberlake worked together on the latter's album FutureSex/LoveSounds in 2006; Timbaland on the beats and Timberlake composing the song's lyrics, though he did not write them down.[1][3] Demacio Castellon recorded and mixed "Rehab" in 2007 at Roc The Mic Studios in New York City.[4] It was one of three songs produced by Timbaland for Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad album; "Sell Me Candy" and "Lemme Get That" were the other two.[4][5]

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly about Good Girl Gone Bad, Timberlake said: "To me, that song ['Rehab'] is the bridge for her to be accepted as an adult in the music industry."[6] Rihanna told Robert Copsey of Digital Spy that she enjoyed working with Timberlake and learned much from the sessions, saying "Working with Justin in the studio is just great. He's a fun guy and likes to make all the sessions enjoyable. He's also such a genius when it comes to lyrics."[7]

Composition

"Rehab" is a mid-tempo R&B ballad with a subtle beat.[8][9] According to the digital sheet music published by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Rehab" is written in the key of G♯ minor and set in common time with a moderate slow groove.[10] Rihanna's vocal range spans nearly an octave and a half, from the low note of F3 to B4.[10] Critics noted similarities between "Rehab" and some of Timberlake's songs. Quentin B. Huff of PopMatters wrote that "Rehab" was similar to Timberlake's 2007 single, "What Goes Around... Comes Around",[11] and Doug Rule of Metro Weekly wrote that the song contains elements from Timberlake's 2002 single, "Cry Me a River".[12] Spence D. of IGN wrote that the song has an "... R&B swoon", similar to Rihanna's previous singles.[9]

Rihanna told Entertainment Weekly's Margeaux Watson that, " "Rehab" is a metaphorical song. Rehab really just means we have to get over the guy. So we talk about checking ourselves into rehab, meaning we have to get over him. And we compare the guy to a disease or an addiction. We're just saying, 'We don't wanna smoke any cigarettes no more,' meaning we don't wanna deal with this BS anymore."[1] Watson called the song a "... lovesick ballad".[13] "Rehab" opens with a string section, played by Stevie Blacke,[4] and a violin, cello, and tambourine instrumental groove with Hannon Lane's keyboard melody.[9] Rihanna then sings the opening lines: "Baby, baby, when we first met, I never felt something so strong".[14] The song's middle 8 features a vocal call and response between Rihanna and Timberlake, in which Timberlake chants, "Now ladies gimme that" and Rihanna responds with the ad-libbed, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh", the song's hook.[9]

Release

"Rehab" was released as the eighth and final single from Rihanna's third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). According to American music magazine Rap-Up, both "Breakin' Dishes" and "Rehab" were potential single releases; however, "Rehab" was chosen.[15] Def Jam Recordings released the song for airplay to contemporary hit radio in the United States on October 6, 2008.[16] On November 3, 2008, it was released to rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporary radios.[17][18] The song was released as a CD single on December 8, 2008, in the United Kingdom through Mercury Records.[19] The disc contained the album and instrumental versions of "Rehab".[19] On the same date, it was released as a digital download in Ireland.[20] A live performance of the song, recorded during in Manchester during Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad Tour (2007—09), was released for download on iTunes in both countries.[21][22] The same performance was featured on Rihanna's DVD, Good Girl Gone Bad Live.[23] On December 12, 2008, the song and its instrumental version were digitally released on iTunes and 7digital in ten more countries, including Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland.[24] In January 2009 the song was released on a CD single in Germany, with the same material as the UK release.[25]

In early 2009 Timbaland signed a contract with Verizon Communications to create music exclusively for BlackBerry Storm mobile phone owners.[26] He was contracted to work with various artists and remix their songs, which would be available to download for free by Verizon costumers. "Rehab" was the first song remixed for the project,[26] this version being released in Canada and the US on May 19, 2009, via iTunes.[27]

Critical reception

"Rehab" received positive and negative reviews from music critics. Rodney Dugue of The Village Voice and Norman Mayers of Prefix Magazine called "Rehab" one of the stand-out songs on Good Girl Gone Bad,[28][29] while Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe described it as "essential" to the album.[30] Quentin B. Huff of PopMatters called "Rehab" a "little gem".[11] He compared the song to Babyface's collaboration with Madonna on her 1994 single, "Take a Bow".[11] Dan Gennoe of Yahoo! Music wrote that "Rehab" was a stand-out on the album, and that it benefits from "... Timbaland's computer generated elegance" and the "... high-pitched melancholy via Timbaland's tight-trousered shadow, Justin Timberlake".[31] Billboard magazine said that the song was a highlight of the album and complimented it's "slinky-assisted" Timberlake background vocals, "... tension-filled" production, and "... contrasting strings and guitars".[32] Spence D. of IGN "... enjoyed" the collaboration between Timberlake and Rihanna, commenting that they "... mesh well" on the collaboration because they have similar vocal ranges. He complimented the song's reversion to Rihanna's "... old-styled R&B swoon" and its instrumental groove and subtle backbeat.[9] Doug Rule of Metro Weekly wrote that "Rehab" is "... fetching and distinctive".[12]

Tom Breinan of Pitchfork Media wrote that on "Rehab", "... she comes closer than usual to depicting something resembling human emotion, but she still comes off sounding like a robot programmed to impersonate Alanis Morissette."[14] Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "Rehab is a joyless overdose of mid-tempo melodrama".[8] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine wrote, "Aside from the fact that nobody should even try to write a song called "Rehab" so closely following Amy Winehouse's, the track is further evidence that JT [Timberlake] is better off penning lyrics about sexy backs or dicks in boxes."—a reference to Timberlake's 2006 singles "Sexy Back" and "Dick in a Box".[33]

Chart performance

In the United States, "Rehab" entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart on November 22, 2008, at number 91.[34] It peaked at number 18, becoming Rihana's twelfth US top-twenty single,[35] and Rihanna became the first artist since Shania Twain in 1997 with Come On Over to have eight US Hot 100 hits from one album [36] "Rehab" entered the Canadian Hot 100 chart at number 56 and peaked at number 19.[37] The song entered the Australian ARIA Singles Chart at number 37 on November 17, 2008, and peaked at 26, becoming Rihanna's twelfth consecutive top-thirty single in Australia.[24] In New Zealand, "Rehab" entered the singles chart at number 24 on October 27, 2008, and peaked at number 12.[38] "Rehab" was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) on January 11, 2009, twelve weeks after it first charted.[39]

"Rehab" entered the UK Singles Chart at number 51 in November 2008[40] and peaked at number 16 after one month.[41] "Rehab" has sold more than 160,000 copies in the UK.[42] "Rehab" debuted at number 33 on the Ö3 Austria Top 40 and peaked at number nine.[43] In Germany, it reached number four, and became Rihanna's sixth top-five single.[44] "Rehab" entered the Dutch Top 40 at number 18 on January 17, 2009[45] and peaked at number three on its fourth week on the chart.[46] In Norway, the song entered the singles chart at number 19 and then climbed to number four, becoming Rihanna's seventh top-five single in Norway.[47] "Rehab" peaked at number eight in the Slovakian singles chart, a fifth global top-ten peak and Rihanna's sixth top-ten single in Slovakia.[48]

Music video

Rihanna filmed the music video for "Rehab" with Justin Timberlake at Vasquez Rocks Park, near Los Angeles, on October 22, 2008.[49] It was directed by Anthony Mandler, who directed the videos for Rihanna's 2008 singles "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia";[50] with photographs of the production leaked on the same day.[51] Digital Spy said that "... everyone was gushing about the intense chemistry between Rihanna and Justin".[52] Tim Nixon of The Sun wrote that the "... red hot chemistry" between Rihanna and Timberlake must have been difficult for their partners to watch.[53] Timberlake told Access Hollywood that filming the video was enjoyable, and that most of the shoot was spent "... goof[ing] around".[54] Television stations in the US began broadcasting the video on November 10, 2008,[55] and it was officially premiered worldwide on MTV on November 17, 2008.[56]

The video begins with Rihanna, "... scantily-dressed", wearing fishnet stockings, and standing against a convertible car in a desert. Timberlake, wearing a leather jacket and black jeans, arrives on a motorcycle. He unbuttons his jacket to cool down and bathes in pink-colored water before greeting Rihanna at her Airstream trailer.[57] The pair then climb onto the hood of the vintage car. In the next scene, Timberlake plays a guitar while lying on a large rocket.[51] Timberlake and Rihanna vary their poses throughout the video from sultry to defensive.[58]

David Balls of Digital Spy wrote: "The pop pair put in such a highly-charged, effortlessly sexual display that it's no surprise Justin's lady was far from happy."[57] Jennifer Clad of E! Online wrote that Rihanna and Timberlake exchange " 'Rehab' sex eyes" during the video.[59] Tim Nixon of The Sun wrote that: "...the sight of sexy Rihanna—clad in a series of tantalising costumes—writhing around with Justin is a real treat."[53] In his book Post Cinematic Affect (2010), Steven Shaviro wrote that the videos of "Rehab", "Love Sex Magic" and "4 Minutes", Timberlake is "...radiat[ing] a smothering sexual heat", which "...can be contrasted with the videos from Timberlake's own Future Sex/Love Sounds album which Joshua Clover convincingly describes as a 'homosocial' exchange between Timberlake and his producer Timbaland".[60] The "Rehab" video won the Best Music Video award at the 2009 Urban Music Awards, and Rihanna won the award for Best Female Artist.[61]

Rihanna performing "Rehab" in Brisbane, on her Good Girl Gone Bad Tour

On April 28, 2008, Rihanna performed at the Pepsi Center with Kanye West, N.E.R.D, and Lupe Fiasco.[62] She sang "Rehab" and other songs from Good Girl Gone Bad.[62] John Wenzel of The Denver Post wrote: "["Rehab"] would have benefited from more backing vocals, or perhaps a more focused performance approach".[62] To promote the single, Rihanna performed "Rehab" live on November 23, 2008, at the 2008 American Music Awards, where she won the awards for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist and Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist.[63] Rihanna performed "Rehab" at the American Music Awards, wearing an eye patch which she later removed after she was lowered down to the main stage.[64] In the second half of the performance she leaned sensuously against a pole.[64] Ethan Stainislawski of Prefix Magazine called it "...a borderline ridiculous performance". He criticized her wearing of an eye patch and wrote that her outfit made her look like "...an award trophy".[64]

"Rehab" was the fourth song on Rihanna's set list for her Good Girl Gone Bad Tour (2007–09).[65] Her performance in Manchester was released in the UK through iTunes,[66] and is featured on the Good Girl Gone Bad Live DVD.[23] Rihanna performed "Rehab" on February 7, 2009, at a pre-Grammy party.[67] Rihanna was scheduled to perform at the 51st Grammy Awards ceremony, but canceled her performance following an alleged altercation with her then-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown.[68] "Rehab" was the twelfth song on Rihanna's set list for her 2010 Last Girl on Earth Tour.[69] David Sprague of Variety wrote that her performance of "Rehab" at Madison Square Garden was "...disheartedly leaden".[69] Throughout the tour, Rihanna performed "Rehab" on a therapist's couch adorned with metal casts of human heads and limbs.[70] Ben Ratliff from The New York Times wrote that the live performances of "Rehab" and "Rude Boy" were, "...the smash hits of her body language" in the set.[70] Andy Downing of the Chicago Tribune called her performance at Chicago's United Center "...internally push-and-pull fueled".[71] Deborah Linton of City Life wrote that Rihanna, "...even manages to make a psychiatric couch look sexy". Linton complimented the stage set of the performance, calling it "...impressive and imaginative".[72] Rick Massimo of The Providence Journal wrote: "[Rihanna] looked like a neon-sign rendition of herself during 'Rehab', rarely addressed the audience, and didn't rise above flat cliché in that until the very end of the show."[73] "Rehab", and her 2009 single "Russian Roulette", were excluded from the set list during the tour's Australian leg.[74]
