Hear Calvin Harris and Rihanna's new banger, 'This Is What You Came For'
A week and a half after Rihanna shocked no one everyone by making a "surprise" appearance during Calvin Harris' Coachella Weekend 1 set, the DJ and the diva's new single has been officially released.
The song, "This Is What You Came For," is a low-key EDM track that features breathy Ri-Ri vocals over a house beat. The lyrics:

Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oo, oo
And then some more "oo"s.
Those words echo the single's art, a bolt of lightning striking over a mountain range -- an evocative image that first appeared on a jacket worn by Harris' girlfriend, Taylor Swift, at Coachella. Synergy!
Harris and Rihanna previously collaborated on "We Found Love" and "Where Have You Been," a pair of mega-hits that'll be tough to top -- though, "This Is What You Came For" makes a solid argument in its own favor.
