The track, produced by C. Tricky Stewart, is the first single from the 19-year-old Bajan beauty's third album (in two years), set for release via Def Jam Records June 5.

The voice behind chart-topping pop ditties 'Pon De Replay, ' 'S.O.S.' and 'Unfaithful' may have a hit another hit on her hands -- with the Def Jam President in the mix.

But that's not all she has in store this summer.

Already with an impressive business portfolio including endorsement stints with Reebok, Clinique, and Secret deodorant, among others, Rihanna will add a cosmetics contract to the list.

According to her publicist Jana Fleishman, Rihanna will be seen in her first advertisements as the newest CoverGirl starting in June.

"I've loved makeup and dreamed of being a CoverGirl since I was a little girl," Rihanna said. "Growing up, my mother was a makeup artist and I was fascinated watching her apply lip color, blush and mascara. Now I get to be surrounded by all of my favorites from CoverGirl!"
