Last night, Rihanna took the stage at the 55th Grammy Awards to perform the next single off her seventh album Unapologetic, called “Stay,” alongside Mikky Ekko. Today, Ri kept the fire burning by releasing the video for the emotional ballad. 

“Stay” is a far cry from the infectious dance moves of “Where Have You Been,” and shows a softer, more delicate side of Rihanna. Completely stripped of all the glitz and glam associated with fame, as she sits alone, sans makeup, in a stagnant tub of murky water.

The video, albeit uneventful, reveals a vulnerable side of Rihanna, nude, stripped of makeup, luxuries and designer labels, battling only with the emotion of the song. 

While on the Grammy red carpet, Rihanna spoke with Ryan Seacrest about the video saying, “The video was really, really simple. I pretty much stayed put in a bathtub.”

That girl rarely tells a lie. Check out the video for “Stay” above.
