Rihanna’s new single We Found Love received its first radio play today – on Capital FM.

The tune, a collaboration with Calvin “I get all the girls” Harris is the first single from Rihanna’s upcoming album.

Before the single debuted she tweeted: "I'm EXCITED, NERVOUS, ANXIOUS! I cud throw up".

The raunchy Barbadian pop star needn’t have worried. The dance-storming single has already garnered a favourable response in the blogosphere with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton gushing: "This Rihanna reign just won't let up!!! Slaying."

Rihanna is expected to perform the song live for the first time at Rock in Rio on the weekend.

Her as-yet untitled album is due to drop on November 21.

Rihanna's We Found Love lyrics in full:

Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
