Rihanna — Love On The Brain

The doo-wop ballad tucked into the back half of Anti is broadly charting again, appearing across 16 country and platform charts after a two-month absence. The most likely accelerant is its use in the third episode of Netflix's romantic comedy Nobody Wants This, a placement noted by Songfacts — the track has become a reliable romantic-tension cue since the show landed, threading through streaming playlists built around it. A creative risk on a dance-leaning album, the song leans on swinging drums and vintage backing vocals that uDiscover Music calls timeless-sounding — closer to Etta James than to Work. Its cover-magnet durability (Kelly Clarkson, Little Mix, Ava Max have all taken it on) keeps it circulating far beyond Rihanna's own catalog. The sync-driven bump has legs while the series stays in rotation.
