Interesting facts and trivia about Walks Like Rihanna. By Songfacts®.

The third single from Third Strike is a summer anthem that was inspired by Bajan babe, Rihanna. "We feel it's a little different from the usual Wanted sound," said Tom Parker, "we've stripped it back to pure pop, it's just a feel-good, fun track."

The Wanted worked with Dr. Luke on the track. The American producer has previously worked with the likes of Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson.

The song's music video spoofs three classic boyband promos, starting with *N Sync's puppetry visual for "Bye Bye Bye," then the matching white suited Backstreet Boys' clip for "I Want It That Way" and finally Take That's black and white film for "Back For Good," which saw the quintet walking and dancing in the rain while wearing long coats. Tom Parker told The Daily Mirror: "Fun is a good way to describe the video... it has got a lot of character."
