[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Listen, closely
Hear the music playin'
Let it take you to places far away and relax your senses
Just do what you wanna do
No need for questions
It's only for you

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's so amazing, oh, how you can't escape it
The movement takes you and never let's you go

[Chorus]
Can't you feel the music in the air?
Close your eyes, let the rhythm take you there
Doesn't matter who you are or where you're from
Come and dance to the music of the sun
Forget about your troubles, it's alright
Let 'em go 'til we see the morning light
Feel the beat as our bodies move as one
Come and dance to the music of the sun (The sun)
Come and dance to the music of the sun, the sun (The sun, yeah)

[Verse 2]
So real, so right
Can't explain the feeling
Like the sunlight brings to life new meaning
No need for stress (No need for stress)
Save that for another day
No second guessing
Just trust me when I say

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's so amazing, oh, how you can't escape it
The movement takes you and never let's you go

[Chorus]
Can't you feel the music in the air?
Close your eyes, let the rhythm take you there (Let the rhythm take you there)
Doesn't matter who you are or where you're from
Come and dance to the music of the sun (Music of the sun)
Forget about your troubles, it's alright
Let them go 'til we see the morning light (See the morning light)
Feel the beat as our bodies move as one
Come and dance to the music of the sun (Come and dance to the music of the sun)
Come and dance to the music of the sun, the sun (Of the sun, oh, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's so amazing, oh, how you can't escape it
The movement takes you and never let's you go

[Chorus]
Can't you feel the music in the air?
Close your eyes, let the rhythm take you there (Let the rhythm take you there)
Doesn't matter who you are or where you're from
Come and dance to the music of the sun
Forget about your troubles, it's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
Let 'em go 'til we see the morning light
Feel the beat as our bodies move as one
Come and dance to the music of the sun (Come and dance to the music of the sun)
Come and dance to the music of the sun
Let it take you far
Come and dance to the music of the sun
It'll take you far away, far away
Come and dance to the music of the sun
Can't you feel the music in the air?
Close your eyes, let the rhythm take you there
Doesn't matter who you are or where you're from
Come and dance to the music of the sun

Rihanna

A true pop icon, Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty is a singer, actress, and businesswoman from Saint Michael, Barbados. She was first discovered by American record producer Evan Rogers in 2003 and later signed a contract to Def Jam Recordings in 2004, after auditioning for its then-president, JAY-Z.

The following year, in 2005, she released her debut album Music of the Sun and its follow-up, A Girl Like Me, in 2006. Both albums did well commercially, but it wasn’t until the release of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007 that poised Rihanna as an international pop star. It became her first album to receive a Grammy nomination (seven to be exact) and features one of her biggest hits, “Umbrella.”

Moving onto 2009, Rihanna released her fourth studio album, Rated R. It featured a darker and more atmospheric tone from her previous albums. She released her fifth studio album, Loud, the next year in 2010. It marked her return to making dance-pop records. That summer, she featured on Eminem’s smash hit, “Love the Way You Lie” and is one of her most popular features of all time.
