“SOS” is the danceable lead single from Rihanna’s A Girl Like Me, and contains more than meets the eye.
The song’s narrative is simply about falling deeply in love, but a sample from Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” and multiple references to 80s songs make “SOS” not only catchy but interesting as well.
The song became RiRi’s first number one on the Hot 100, rising past the #2 peak of her prior best single, “Pon De Replay.” Ten years after its ascension to #1, Rih had added thirteen number ones, the most recent of which was “Work” featuring Drake.
