Diamonds is a song by Rihanna, released in 2012 as the lead single from her album Unapologetic. Its chorus, built around the image of shining bright like a diamond, became one of the most recognisable pop hooks of the decade and helped the track top charts around the world. The short, uplifting melody later found a second life in short-form video, where creators use just a few seconds to signal luxury, confidence or a dramatic reveal. That instant recognition is why the hook still works in edits years after its original release.
