Several days ago, Kanye West made an appearance at the iHeartMedia Music Summit in California, where he played a snippet of an acoustic song featuring Rihanna. That song has now been released, and it’s called “FourFiveSeconds”. The singer uploaded the track – which. as Stereogum points out, also features Ty Dolla $ign and the Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longsreth in addition to West and Paul McCartney – to her website on Saturday evening.

Rihanna and Kanye trade bars on their new joint effort.
“I think I’ve had enough,” sings Rihanna over the percussion-less, acoustic guitar-driven track. “I might get a little drunk / I say what’s on my mind / I might do a little time / ‘Cause all of my kindness is taken for weakness.” West takes over on vocals, crooning, “Woke up an optimist/ Sun was shining, I’m positive/ Then I heard you was talkin’ trash / Hold me back, I’m bout to spaz.” West and Rihanna handle all of the song’s vocals, duetting on the chorus with McCartney providing keyboards on the song.

Ty Dolla $ign hinted at the new track during an interview a few weeks ago.
“Me, Rihanna, ‘Ye and Paul [Mc Cartney] got a song about to drop as well,” Dolla revealed in an interview. “Yeah. It’s gonna drop soon. I heard they shot the video recently. I don’t know what the final title is, but I know it’s crazy so just be looking out for [it].” (Billboard)
