The pop and R&B singer is very popular among younger listeners and even performed at the 2010 Kids Choice Awards but has never been shy about using sex to sell music. Her stage performances and videos are often sexual in nature, her 2009 album is called "Rated R" and she scored a hit with her single "S&M," released earlier this year.
Many speculated weeks ago that the songs' lyrics would be more sexually explicit than those in her previous records.
But just how raunchy is "Talk That Talk"? We break down the tracks below.
1. "You Da One" - this slower-paced dance song is more about romance than anything else.
Sample lyrics: You the one that I dream about all day / You the one that I think about always / You are the one so I make sure I behave / My love is your love, your love is mine (Listen to the track here)

3. "We Found Love" - Rihanna recently performed this dance track on the UK version of the primetime reality show "The X Factor." However, its music video is highly sexual - so much that French television reportedly opted to avoid airing it after 10 p.m., according to the UK newspaper The Daily Mail.
The clip shows Rihanna and a man, played by rumored boyfriend Dudley O'Shaughnessy, simulating sexual acts, appearing to smoke pot and getting into heated confrontations, bringing to mind her real-life past abusive relationship with R&B singer Chris Brown. The man also appears to tattoo Rihanna's bare bottom with the beginning of the word "Mine." (Watch the video below)
Sample lyrics: Yellow diamonds in the light / And we're standing side by side / As your shadow crosses mine / We found love in a hopeless place
