LONDON – Calvin Harris and Rihanna are back with a new collaboration! It has been five years since the EDM DJ and songstress teamed up for “We Found Love,” and now they’ve reunited for a new song titled “This Is What You Came For.”
The live performance of the song – We Found Love – was also a big deal for Harris because he had previewed his new song with Rihanna for her for the very first time since it was completed. In an interview, Harris admitted that he was feeling jittery about it.
“I played it to [Rihanna] for the first time at Coachella. She heard it for the first time two weeks ago,” he shared. “It was me, her and her manager in the trailer at Coachella,” he said. “It was the first time anything’s happened like that. I was nervous to play it for her. I changed so many bits from when she first heard it.”
Obviously she loved it! “I was nervous. I had changed so many things musically, and she loved it. I’ll never forget it.” Harris admitted it was sick to see the vibe hitting her and see she was into it. Now that “This Is What You Came For” has been released, their fans and followers will be patiently waiting for their next collaboration.
The 32-year-old DJ gushed about the 28-year-old singer, describing her voice as iconic. “She’s got that iconic voice, hasn’t she? The first time I heard ‘We Found Love,’ I thought it couldn’t get any better than this,” he said. “Her voice is out of control, how distinct it is. There’s no one like her.”
