The song peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Rihanna's 31st top-ten song, Khaled's third, and Tiller's first. The song also saw chart success in Australia and Canada, where it peaked at number two. Commercially, the song reached number one in the United Kingdom, marking Khaled's second and Rihanna's ninth number one.

Lyrically, the song praises a lover who inspires sexual thoughts. A mid-tempo pop song, "Wild Thoughts" consists of Latin percussion, acoustic guitar lines and riffs that interpolate the 1999 hit single "Maria Maria" by Santana. Canadian singer PartyNextDoor assisted the artists in writing the song, with production handled by Khaled. It was released on June 16, 2017, by We the Best and Epic Records as the third single from Khaled's tenth studio album, Grateful (2017). Apart from the gorgeous performance ending, that sees all three artists on a block as fireworks light up the sky behind them - which is a brilliant scene although that's to do with the concept and not the artists themselves - the music video just doesn't keep the audience interested and this just feels like another music video to mix in with all the other average ones out there."Wild Thoughts" is a song by American musician DJ Khaled featuring Barbadian singer Rihanna and American singer Bryson Tiller. Bryson Tiller and Rihanna do bring wild thoughts but it's just not enough there to entertain the audience. Her clothing for this music video is very relaxed and chilling it doesn't scream high fashion and probably explains why she doesn't shine throughout the video.įor his part, Bryson Tiller brings it in the song, but he also doesn't shine enough during his visual. Next, we see her wearing a floaty blue dress which certainly doesn't flatter her at all, in a bedroom. She acts confident and sassy during her walk and even does some dancing with DJ Khaled. The start sees DJ Khaled and Rihanna walking down the street interspersed with shots of people at an event, enjoying the music. It's mainly a performance piece as Rihanna is fierce throughout whilst DJ Khaled takes the spotlight at times and Bryson Tiller remains in the background in some interestingly visual profile shots. The song incorporates a sample from "Maria Maria" by Santana, hence the long list of songwriters who are DJ Khaled, PartyNextDoor, Bryson Tiller, Rihanna, Raul Rekow, David Mcrae, Marvin Moore-Hough, Carlos Santana, Karl Perazzo, Wyclef Jean, and Jerry "Wonder" Duplessis.ĭirected by Colin Tilley - one of the top music video directors around at the moment - the music video was filmed in Little Haiti, Miami, Florida. This is the first time he has charted inside the UK Top 40 and at the top too, opening the UK public to his music, although his albums have charted well to date. Then there's also Bryson Tiller on this track too. I do miss her club hits from years ago, nothing can top " Don't Stop The Music". You'd have had to be living under the biggest rock in the world to not know who she is however, her latest songs haven't impacted the chart that well and aren't all that catchy, in my opinion. On this track is Rihanna, real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty, who needs no introduction. DJ Khaled is seriously becoming someone everyone wants to collaborate with and I am excited to see what killer songs he is going to release next. Watch DJ Khaled, Rihanna & Bryson Tiller perform "Wild Thoughts" in Little Haiti, Miami, Florida, amongst the streets and up in the sky in this music video for the song which is the current UK number one.ĭJ Khaled, real name Khaled Mohamed Khaled, has really turned into an international star after " I'm The One" charted all over the world, and now he is continuing his success with hit single after hit single. Rihanna totally shines on the track but in the video, she doesn't have her star quality and something is certainly missing. However, it is set to be a one-week number one as "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber plans to climb to the top once again - summer is truly here.

We have a whole new number one guys! Once again, it's DJ Khaled, only this time he didn't need the help of Justin Bieber to rise to the top instead, this is a collaboration with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller.
