Rihanna — Where Have You Been

"Where Have You Been" is a song by Barbadian singer Rihanna from her sixth studio album Talk That Talk (2011). It was released as the third international single from the album on April 17, 2012.

The song was written by Ester Dean, Geoff Mack, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, Henry "Cirkut" Walter, and Calvin Harris, with production handled by the latter three. The track is a dance-pop song that draws influence from trance, R&B and hip hop. It is backed by "hard, chilly synths" and contains an electro-inspired breakdown sequence.

The song's lyrics interpolate Geoff Mack's 1959 song "I've Been Everywhere" and speak of a woman who is searching for a lover who will sexually please her.

The song’s gritty electro-pop sound is mainly given by Calvin Harris, who produced another hit on this album: “We Found Love.” Cirkut and Dr. Luke also have production credits.

In the US, the song reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Rihanna her second top ten from the album after “We Found Love”, another track produced by Calvin Harris.
The Where Have You Been Songfacts says that the song borrows elements from Australian songwriter Geoff Mack 's 1959 composition "I've Been Everywhere," which three years later became a Country hit for Hank Snow with revised Americanised lyrics.
