Diamonds is a song by Rihanna released in September 2012 as the lead single from her seventh studio album, Unapologetic. Written by Sia and produced by Benny Blanco and StarGate, it became a worldwide number-one hit and one of her signature songs. The sparkling chorus has since become a popular shorthand for luxury, beauty and triumph online, appearing in glow-up edits, beauty videos and celebration clips across social media. Its short, instantly recognisable vocal hook still works years later because it conveys shine and confidence in just a few seconds.
