Diamonds Lyrics » Rihanna
[Intro]
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
[Verse 1]
Find light in the beautiful sea,
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We’re like diamonds in the sky
You’re a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew that we’d become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight, I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
[Chorus]
So shine bright, tonight, you and I
We’re beautiful, like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We’re beautiful, like diamonds in the sky
[Post-Chorus]
Shine bright like a diamond (Woah)
Shine bright like a diamond (Woah)
Shinin’ bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful, like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond (Woah)
Shine bright like a diamond (Woah)
Shinin’ bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful, like diamonds in the sky

About Rihanna’s Diamonds from Unapologetic (2012)
“Diamonds” was released as the lead single from Rihanna’s seventh studio album,
Unapologetic.
It became her twelfth number-one in the US. During the tracking week ending February 25, 2023, the song
re-entered
the Hot 100 chart at #44.
The song was written by Sia, who wrote the chart topping hit in just 14 minutes.
We’re sitting there trying to make records, and we finally just said, ‘Let’s just do something we like. Let’s make a hip-hop record with some really cool chords on it… It didn’t sound Rihanna at all. We were more thinking of making a record that sounds like Kanye. Let’s make a record with a dope beat. So we did. Then Sia heard the track and instantly gravitated towards it. We weren’t even thinking of putting a pop song on it, but she wrote this amazing song.
—Benny Blanco (Producer)
I literally punched him in the arm. I thought Benny was playing a trick on me, [Rihanna] could’ve done it her own way, but I think she really genuinely liked the way it was.
—Sia

FAQs About Diamonds
What did Rihanna say about “Diamonds”?
Tor Erik Hermansen:
We had been working with [“Diamonds” co-producer] Benny Blanco on a number of Rihanna songs, trying to come up with these big, uptempo, dance-pop records [for 2012’s Unapologetic]. During the last couple of days, we were like, “Let’s just do something completely different — different tempo, different everything.” That’s how the track started. Sia came through and worked on a couple different songs, and the last thing she did before walking out the door was “Diamonds.” The car was waiting outside. She had her coat on, she had her purse in her lap. We just played her the music, and the first thing out of her mouth was, “Shine bright like a diamond.” She put her vocal down in about 12 minutes while the car was waiting and then left. Rihanna heard it and loved it straight away. Rihanna really went to work on that song because she wanted to capture that character that Sia has in her voice. I think she spent two or three days recording that song, which is very rare. Normally you do it in a day or half a day. It was very important for her to capture that feeling, and she did it so well that Sia thought it was her [own voice on the song]. I think Mikkel opened up the song [file] to prove to Sia that it was Rihanna singing.

Also, according to
Songfacts
Rihanna told
iHeartRadio
:
You’re not sad. You’re happy and hippie. It’s hopeful. It gives me a great feeling when I listen to it. The lyrics are hopeful and positive. It’s about love and the gears are different than what people will expect.
What’s the song about?
Rihanna said in an
interview
with MTV that “I think a lot of people are afraid of being happy because of what others might think of it. They’re afraid to embrace that and embrace themselves and love themselves and do what they love and do what makes them happy. My story is definitely going to be a happily ever after, no matter what.”
Meaning that Rihanna will ‘Shine bright like a diamond’ and will always do what makes her happy.
Has this song been featured in films or television?
“Diamonds” was
prominently used
in the 2014 French coming-of-age movie
Girlhood
. Director Celine Sciamma actually wrote and filmed the scene in which the song was used before securing the rights. In post-production, she sent the hotel scene to Rihanna and her team, and they loved the clip so much, they signed off on the rights for Sciamma to keep the song in the film. Sciamma said that:
The song is really anthem of sisterhood. I loved the song when it first came out and just imagined the lyrics coming out of the mouths of these characters.”
