Gosh Rihanna...really???? It's like Rihanna is in heat. Really?? You can't think of anything else to sing about? It's okay to be sexy, but in a classy way. Too explicit for kids...wrong message for teens!

For Mature Tweens and General Teens
First, one should definitely acknowledge that the material and content of the song is majorly directed towards older audiences, regardless of whether it is played on the radio as a poplular tune. Although many may say that the song exhibits sexual messages, "Rude boy" is only a song with some innuendos pertaining to one entire message. Therefore, I believe that this song is "on" for children at ages 14+; however, the parents should discuss it and decide, whether their child is mature enough to handle the content.

This song doesn't sound right,it's about sex like "Give it to me baby like boom boom boom" , or "I like the way you touch me there" and "Buckle up I'm a give it to you "HARDER"(Which you should what that means),It's sound like a 2 couple wants to get dirty

Upbeat and fun Rihanna song that shows her more sensual side
"Rude Boy" is RiRi's best single yet from her "Rated R" album. She flips the negative 180 degrees and goes for a more playful, sensual sound that hints at her Caribbean roots. The song is catchy and the hook is memorable. Lyrically, the song is about sex. There are many references to what Rihanna and her man are going to do to night. In the chorus, she alludes to erectile dysfunction, by asking, "can you get it up?" and "Is it big enough?"
