Rihanna collaborated with Drake on the hit single "What's My Name?"
The song was released in 2010 as the second single from Rihanna's fifth studio album, Loud. Drake provides the guest rap, while Rihanna sings the main vocal. The track blends electro-R&B with dancehall influences and centers on a flirtatious romantic exchange between the two performers.
"What's My Name?" was produced by the Norwegian production team Stargate and written by Stargate, Ester Dean, Traci Hale, and Drake. The collaboration developed after Rihanna asked Drake to contribute a verse. Its release helped establish a major musical partnership that the pair later revisited on songs including "Take Care" and "Work."
The single became a major chart success. It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, giving Rihanna another chart-topper and becoming Drake's first number-one single there. The song also topped charts in the United Kingdom and Hungary and received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
Jay-Z is sometimes associated with Rihanna's early career because he helped sign her to Def Jam, but he did not rap on this song.
