About Consideration

"Consideration" is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna from her eighth studio album Anti (2016). It was co-written by featured artist SZA, with Rihanna and its producer Tyran Donaldson. "Consideration" is a dub-inspired hip hop and R&B song, with "stuttering, distorted beat," "pounding percussion", "a crunchy groove," and a "throbbing bass line" in its instrumentation. Lyrically, the song is a declaration of independence, where she is seeking peace of mind. Rihanna performed "Consideration" with SZA on a medley with "Work" on the 2016 Brit Awards, and also included it on her Anti World Tour. Upon the release of the album, "Consideration" charted in a few European countries, such as France and Sweden, and following the Brit Awards performance, the song managed to debut on the UK Singles Chart and the UK R&B Chart. On December 8, 2017, an EP including six dance remixes of the song was released on streaming music services.

I come fluttering in from Neverland
Time could never stop me, no, no, no, no
I know you try to
I come riding in on a pale white horse
Sending out his to less fortunate
I do advise you run it back, run it on back
When you're breaking it down for me
'Cause I can hear you two times
Run it on back, will it ever make sense to me?

I got to do things my own way darling
Will you ever let me? Will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way darling
You should just let me, why you will never let me grow?

When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind oh

Let me cover your shit in glitter
I can make it gold, gold
Heard you're tryna sell your soul, baby
But I'm not sure, you're running low, lately
I needed you to please give my reflection a break
From the face it's seeing now
Ooh darling would you mind giving my reflection a break
From the pain it's feeling now?

I got to do things my own way darling
You should just let me, will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way darling
You should just let me why you will never let me grow

When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind oh

Getting no peace
Getting no peace
Get, get, getting no peace oh
Getting no peace
(Get, get no peace oh)
