About This Track

A deluxe-edition bonus track from 'ANTI', 'Pose' was written by Rihanna alongside Bibi Bourelly, Hit-Boy and Travis Scott, with production handled by the latter two. The song sits outside the album's core sequence, a braggadocio exercise built around wealth and disdain for those without it. Rihanna adopts a voice of unfiltered swagger, the lyrics cycling through boasts about being loaded and commands to flex for the camera. The repetition of the title phrase anchors a track that leans harder on attitude than narrative, the production spare enough to let the posturing breathe. The contrast with the stated ambition for 'ANTI' itself is notable. Rihanna had spoken of wanting songs that felt timeless and soulful, yet 'Pose' operates in a different register entirely, its appeal rooted in the immediacy of its strut rather than any claim to permanence.

"Pose" is a track by Rihanna, from the album ANTI, released 28th January 2016. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Rihanna.

Lyrics

Pose

[Intro]

Uh

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

Stir it up, porridge

Getting dope, so rich

Ah, smoke it

And I ain't never liked a broke bitch

I ain't never fuck with ya ho bitch

Quiet down

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh shit

So-oh-oh rich

Eyes low, I'm so loaded

Eyes, pose, bitch

[Verse 2]

Take it off

Wanna see you work it, oh my god (Pose, bitch)

And that thang is out, I know you know (Pose, bitch)

And you bounce it like I know you know

Bitch, I know you know

Bitch, I know you know

Stay low

All my haters so, so broke

Pipe down

All these niggas so, so broke

So, so broke (Pose, bitch)

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh shit

So loaded

Eyes low, I am so lit

Eyes, pose, bitch

[Verse 3]

Yass, bitch

Let me see you get it, no, no, no

Flexin'

I know that you with it

Pose, bitch

Take a photo

Flick, flick, flick, for fucking sho doe

All you lame-ass bitches is a no go

And if you with it, go fuckin' loco, loco

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh shit

So loaded

Eyes low, I am so lit

Eyes, pose, bitch
