Interesting facts and trivia about Half Of Me. By Songfacts®.

This bonus track from the deluxe edition of Unapologetic finds Rihanna explaining that she's more than just surface. "Saw me on the television, that's just the half," she sings. "You saw the half of it. This is the life I live, and that's just the half of it."

Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé and her frequent collaborator Naughty Boy (real name Shahid Khan) wrote the song. Speaking with Guilty Pleasures, Khan revealed how this song made Rihanna weep. "When they played it to her she cried," he said. "It was the week her grandmother died and it's quite an emotional song."

The Norwegian duo Stargate produced the track. It is one of four on Unapologetic that they helmed, including the hit single, "Diamonds."
