“Stay” is the second single off of Rihanna’s seventh studio album Unapologetic. It features guest vocals from Mikky Ekko and was written by Ekko and Justin Parker.

With this gorgeous piano ballad, Rihanna puts a vulnerable spin on the Brown situation, repeating another theme of the album – failing to resist true love. She inspires melancholy and raw emotion with this track, and never fails to convey her honesty with her lyrics and her delivery.

Chartwise, “Stay” was incredibly successful, moving over 10 million units all together, making it Rih’s third most successful single after “Love the Way You Lie” with Eminem and “We Found Love” with Calvin Harris.
