Rihanna admits that she was "having a lot of naughty thoughts" while composing her recent album.

The gorgeous singer released Talk That Talk in 2011. Several of the tracks are imbued with salacious lyrics.

Rihanna couldn't get sex off her mind while she was writing the songs.

"My last album Talk That Talk was true to where my head was at that moment, like all my albums," she told British newspaper the Sun.

"I was having a lot of naughty thoughts because I wasn't getting any action. That came out in the music."

Rihanna doesn't shy away from sexual energy.

"People get into the idea of pleasing others, and forget about pleasing themselves," the star explained. "I think my best quality is being daring, spontaneous, risky and fearless. It's empowering when you do it. To me, sex is power."

Although Rihanna has been linked to Ashton Kutcher and ex-beau Chris Brown in recent months, the singer contends that she is currently single.
