Rihanna;s 'SOS' Songwriter Reveals Secrets

 

Songwriter Evan 'Kidd' Bogart Reveals Hidden '80s Song Titles in Rihanna's "SOS" Verse Songwriter Evan "Kidd" Bogart revealed that the second verse of Rihanna's 2006 hit single "SOS" consists of hidden titles of popular 1980s songs. "SOS" was released as the lead single from Rihanna's second album, A Girl Like Me, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Bogart, a songwriter on "SOS," told Daniel Wall on the Behind the Wall podcast that he thought it would be "clever" to write a verse using chart-topping '80s songs like A-Ha's "Take On Me," Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms," and Tears for Fears' "Head Over Heels." Fans have eagerly awaited Rihanna's upcoming project, “R9,” since the success of her last album, Anti, in 2016, which reached number one on the Billboard 200 and earned her two Grammy nominations.
