The song was co-written by PartyNextDoor

In mid-2015, Rihanna held a writing camp at her home in Malibu, one of the writers invited was singer-songwriter Jahron Braithwaite, also known as PartyNextDoor. During his initial arrival, Braithwaite did not understand why he was asked to be there as numerous other writers had already made "hits" for Rihanna. Braithwaite went on to try and create more "streamlined songs" and moved away from his usual "looser, more experimental at-home productions". During the sessions, Braithwaite wrote two songs—the album's lead single "Work" and "Sex with Me". [1]

"Sex with Me" is an R&B song [2] that was written by Braithwaite, Matthew Samuels, Adam Feeney, Anderson Hernandez, Chester Hansen and Rihanna. It was produced by Boi-1da, whilst co-production was handled by Frank Dukes, with additional and vocal production being carried out by Vinylz and Kuk Harrell respectively. [3] The song was recorded at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles. The vocal recording was done by producer Kuk Harrell and Marcos Tovar, while Blake Mares served as a recording and production assistant. "Sex with Me" was mixed by Manny Marroquin at Larrabee Studios in Universal City, California and was assisted by Chris Galland and Ike Schultz. The song was mastered by Chris Gehringer at the Sterling Sound Studios in New York City. [3]

Release and remixes

Several artists have remixed the song, including Amorphous and Maino. [4] [5] On August 31, 2016, Fabolous and Trey Songz released a remix of the song.

[6] On September 3, singer-songwriter Tinashe released a remix, which featured different lyrics to the original. [7] [8] [9] Nick Cannon recorded a version of the song, called "Sex with Me Is Ncredible", which was released on January 10, 2017. [10] On February 3, 2017, Rihanna released "Sex with Me (Dance Remixes) – EP" to iTunes, the extended play featured five remixes of the original tracks. [11] One of the tracks included a remix by Marc Kinchen and was described as a "standout" and featured a house rework. [12]

Critical reception

The song received generally favorable reviews from critics. Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Billboard called it "the perfect denouement" of the album, stating that "Sex With Me" was the album's "most instructive track" that combatted the "misconceptions of the world's most desirably flawed Bajan badass." [13] Jeff Benjamin of Fuse noted the song's "trippy blend of woozy vocals" and that it "appropriately ending the deluxe version of Anti in an experimental mode". [14] Kathleen Wong from Mic called the song a "hedonistic but also girl power-inducing bass-heavy track that will easily fit in as a 2016 party staple". Wong, also compared the song to Anti's single "Needed Me", stating that like the latter Rihanna "emphasizes not only her independence from and lack of commitment to her current suitor but also her confidence in herself, making it another empowering girl tune." [15]

Vice magazine placed the song at number two on their list of "100 Best Songs of 2016". According to the Jabbari Weekes, "Sex with Me" was an "explicit decree of Rihanna's fleshly beauty and sensual greatness, as she proclaims in its opening line from on high, 'Sex with me, so amazing!'" Weekes stated that the song differed from Rihanna's usual "aggressive tenor, instead relishing in pure elation and delight" and went on to praise the songs themes of "self love". [16] In February 2017, "Sex with Me" was the top choice for Valentine's Day playlists on music streaming service Spotify. [17]

After spending fourteen weeks on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, the song debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at ninety-seven.
