Talk:If I Never See Your Face Again

Song released already?
The article says that the song will be released to the mainstream radio on May 13, but I've heard it on Sirius radio already. Does this mean it's been released to actual radio, or what? Raven23 (talk) 01:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * May 13th is the date that the song officially goes for adds. Some stations, like the Sirius outlet, may already have it on the air.  --InDeBiz1 (talk) 02:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Extended description of music video
I gave a better description of the music video and I also added electro rock because of the use of electronic instruments such as the keyboard is an electronic instrument! Remove these changes if you like but please specify why on my talk page!--Seán Travers (talk) 18:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)Seán Travers

edit
there is an error in the charts section, it says that the peak position of the Billboard Hot 100 chart is 28, thats NOT true, the peak position is 51 as per the given source. So, please fix it, change 28 to 51. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Champagnewoman (talk • contribs) 22:55, 1 July 2010


 * I checked this on billboard itself, and yes, 51. I changed it to that, and added the reference. Thanks,  Chzz  ► 12:16, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Removed from article but has some info.
The original version of "If I Never See Your Face Again" was complete, but Maroon 5 enlisted Rihanna to record "bits and pieces" because they wanted to, in lead singer Adam Levine's words, "try something different". James Diener, president of A&M/Octone Records, said that Maroon 5 were friends with and fans of Rihanna, having attended some of her performances, and thought that she could help them achieve Levine's goal of turning the song into a "'battle of the sexes'-style duet". Because of the speed of the collaboration, Levine compared the remix of "If I Never See Your Face Again" to his experience working with rapper Kanye West on the song "Heard 'Em Say" (2005), explaining "It sounds cheesy, but if the magic is there, if the chemistry is there, you don't even have to think about it."

Rihanna said she was "honored" to be approached by Maroon 5, one of her favorite bands, and made the song the only collaboration on the re-release of Good Girl Gone Bad because she had always wanted to work with them. She also attributed her enthusiasm for collaborating on the remix to the song's "energy" and "badass" lyrics.

Maroon 5 and Rihanna performed it for the first time live on the MTV show and it was well-received by most of the viewing public.

"If I Never See Your Face Again" was sent to U.S. mainstream radio on May 13, 2008.

The song received a Grammy nomination in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category at 51st Grammy Awards.

Orphaned references in If I Never See Your Face Again
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of If I Never See Your Face Again's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "EW": From Rehab (Rihanna song):  From Man Down (song):  From Hands All Over (album):  From Discipline (Janet Jackson album):  From Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded:  From American Oxygen:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 04:39, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
