Rihanna Calls Drake The ‘Only Person’ For ‘What’s My Name’ Remix.

“She played the record to Drake backstage somewhere to try to get him on a verse,” Stargate producer Tor Erik Hermansen, who has worked with the singer on her forthcoming fifth LP, told Billboard magazine. “She’s calling me up saying, ‘Where are the files?’ That’s one thing you don’t hear often from artists on her level.”

The “Only Girl (In the World)” singer explained that she and Drizzy had been attempting to team up for a while and that she wanted Drake’s signature swagger for the track.

“Drake is the hottest rapper out right now and we’ve always been trying to work together,” she said. “He’s the only person I thought could really understand the melody of the song, and the minute he heard it he said, ‘I know exactly what I’m going to do. I love it.’ And he did it like three days later.”

Both stars have been fairly stingy with details but Rihanna has described the track as “young” and “playful.” The now flame-haired songstress has also hinted that she and Drake may take their collaboration to the screen and shoot a video.
