'Desperado' is a track from Rihanna's eighth studio album ANTI, released in 2016. Co-written by Rihanna with Mick Schultz, James Fauntleroy and others, it blends R&B with a spaghetti-Western guitar line that gives it its signature desert-noir feel. Although never released as a single, it became a fan favorite and found a second life on TikTok around 2020 and 2021, soundtracking cowboy-inspired edits, dramatic entrances and Western aesthetic videos. Its moody instrumental makes it one of the most reused Rihanna sounds online.
