In the '90s, Snoop Dogg and DMX both asked the musical question, what's my name? Here, Rihanna asks the same question, but in the form of pillow talk with her lover.
"What's My Name?" is the second single from Rihanna's fifth studio album, Loud. The song was written by Ester Dean, whose previous credits include Usher's "Hot Toddy," Katy Perry's "Firework" and Christina Aguilera's "Not Myself Tonight." Dean also had a hit under own name with "Drop it Low." Rihanna said of Dean to Billboard magazine: "She really captured me, everything I would say and how I would say it. Some people get it halfway right. She just gets it and knows exactly what you want to hear."
This was produced by the Norwegian production team Stargate, who also worked on the Loud tracks "Only Girl (In The World)," and "S&M." The duo previously collaborated with Rihanna on her hits "Don't Stop The Music," "Hate That I Love You" and "Rude Boy."
