welly
Nuansa eurodance langsung terasa ketika menikmati single ini dari awal. Hal ini menjadi pertanda Rihanna memasuki era baru yang lebih berani dan berbeda. Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Crystal Johnson, dan Sandy Wilhelm yang berperan penting dalam menciptakan single "Only Girl (In the World)" yang sarat dengan beat beat dance-pop ini seolah mempertegas pada pernyataan Rihanna sebelumnya, bahwa ia tidak ingin mengulang dan mengusung sesuatu yang sama seperti album Good Girl Gone Bad. Yap, itulah janjinya ketika akan merilis album kelimanya menjelang akhir tahun ini, Loud.
Stargate masih setia menjadi produser andalan Rihanna, dibantu Sandy Vee single yang pada minggu awal perilisannya masuk posisi 75 di US HOT 100, minggu keduanya langsung meluncur ke posisi 3. Tidak mengeherankan dan sekaligus menjadi awal Rihanna meninggalkan moment-moment kelam setelah album Rated R. "Only Girl" yang di dominasi upbeat tempo ini, selain di padu dengan beat dance pop dan Eurodance, tetapi juga menggunakan synth yang sangat kuat, pastinya membuat pendengarnya semangat, jika pernah menikmati single "Don't Stop The Music", ibarat kata "Only Girl" menampilkan sisi Rihanna yang lebih dewasa, berani dan matang, ya terdengar jelas dari lantunan vokalnya yang maksimal. Oh ya, buat yang doyan clubbing, hemmm kurang tepat rasanya jika tidak mengikut sertakan single ini. So let's dance... La la la la La la la la

Lyrics:
La la la la
La la la la

[VERSE 1]
I want you to love me, like I'm a hot pie
Keep thinkin' of me, doin' what you like
So boy forget about the world cuz it's gon' be me and you tonight
I wanna make your beg for ya, then imma make you swallow your pride
[CHORUS]
Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world...
Like I'm the only one that's in command
Cuz I'm the only one who understands how to make you feel like a man, yeah
Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only one...
[VERSE 2]
Want you to take me like a thief in the night
Hold me like a pillow, make me feel right
Baby I'll tell you all my secrets that I'm keepin', you can come inside
And when you enter, you ain't leavin', be my prisoner for the night, oh
[CHORUS]
Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world...
Like I'm the only one that's in command
Cuz I'm the only one who understands,
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart, only one...
[BRIDGE]
Take me for a ride, ride
Oh baby, take me high, high
Let me make you first
Oh make it last all night
Take me for a ride, ride
Oh baby, take me high, high
Let me make you first
Make it last all night
[CHORUS]
Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world...
Like I'm the only one that's in command
Cuz I'm the only one who understands how to make you feel like a man
Only girl in the world...
Girl in the world...
