Who is the singer that Rihanna collaborated with on the hit single "We Found Love"?

Rihanna collaborated with Calvin Harris on the hit single “We Found Love.” Harris wrote and produced the track, while Rihanna supplied the lead vocals, making the song a major meeting point between pop singing and electronic dance music.

Released in 2011, “We Found Love” became the lead single from Rihanna's sixth studio album, Talk That Talk. It was also later included on Harris's album 18 Months. The song's central hook—finding love in a hopeless place—was set against an energetic electronic production that helped bring Harris wider international recognition.

The collaboration is sometimes described as Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris, even though Harris is primarily known as a Scottish DJ, producer, songwriter, and musician rather than as the song's lead singer. That distinction explains why the question's wording can be slightly misleading, but Calvin Harris remains the canonical collaborator and the stored answer is correct.

The accompanying music video featured Rihanna in a troubled relationship and included Harris appearing as a DJ. The single topped charts in numerous countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
