Random fact about song
At around 2:35 this samples the chant "mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-koo-sa" from Michael Jackson's 1982 track, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'." Jackson originally borrowed the line from Cameroon Saxophonist Manu Dibango's 1972 song "Soul Makossa (Funky Soul Makossa)" without permission and was forced to compensate Dibango in an out-of-court settlement over it's use. 26 years later Dibango launched another compensation claim against Rihanna, as the Barbadian singer's use of the line came with permission from Jackson, but not the Cameroonian.

Please don't stop the music

It's getting late
I'm making my way over to my favourite place
I gotta get my body moving, shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate, yeah
Who knew, that you'd be up here lookin' like you do
You're making staying over here impossible
Baby I must say, your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go don't

Do you know what you've started?
I just came here to party
But now we're rocking on the dancefloor, acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest and now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

Baby are you ready cause it's getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode?
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show, oh

Do you know what you've started?
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dancefloor, acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest and now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma co sa X4

Please don't stop the music

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma co sa X4

Please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away
