Rihanna: I love the weekend

17th November 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Rihanna loves her new track about looking forward to the weekend because Saturday and Sunday are her favourite days, even though she usually has to work.

The 22-year-old is currently promoting her new album Loud, which includes a track called Cheers (Drink to That). Its one of her favourites as its such a party song, and always makes Rihanna think of the weekend. Its the time of the week she enjoys the most as it reminds her of relaxing with friends when she was at school, and even if she has to work the thought of Saturday and Sunday puts her in a good mood.

I love that song ['Cheers']. That is one of my favourite songs on the album. It makes you feel like celebrating. It gives you a great feeling inside like you want to go out and have a drink. People can't wait for the weekend, she said.

I work all weekend, but I still can't wait. I still get excited about it being Friday, even though I'm not getting the weekend off. I just like the fact that it's Friday. You want to get excited about the weekend, you want to go out and have a drink with your girls, who have the weekend off.

Cheers (Drink to That) features a sample from Avril Lavignes Im With You, and Rihanna says it would be a totally different song if it wasnt included. She considered asking Avril to duet on the song, but in the end decided it would alter its feel too much.

I'm just glad that we could use her sample, because it became such a huge part of the instrumental that if it were not to be in the song, it would change the whole vibe of the song, she told MTV News. (C) Cover Media
