"Rehab" is a song recorded by
Barbadian singer
Rihanna(pictured) for her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007).
Def Jam Recordings serviced the song to
contemporary hit radio in the United States on October 6, 2008, as the eighth and final single from the album, and released it in Britain as a
CD single on December 8. Development of "Rehab" began while Rihanna was accompanying
Timbaland on
Justin Timberlake's
FutureSex/LoveShow tour in 2007. Timberlake wrote the song in collaboration with its producers, Hannon Lane and Timbaland, and provided additional vocals. It is a mid-paced
R&B song with an emotional, melancholy chorus; the lyrics are about the protagonist's painful memories of her former lover, who is portrayed metaphorically as a disease. Critics were divided on the song's production and composition, some comparing the structure to that of Timberlake's 2007 single "
What Goes Around... Comes Around". The accompanying music video, directed by
Anthony Mandler, was shot in
Vasquez Rocks Park near
Los Angeles, and won the
Urban Music Award for Best Music Video. (
