Rihanna Debuts New Single "Russian Roulette"

Rihanna's new single from her soon-to-be-released album "Rated R" debuted Tuesday morning.

The wait is finally ova. Rihanna's latest single "Russian Roulette" debuted Tuesday morning on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, and can also be found on her official website.

This is the first single to be released from her highly anticipated album "Rated R," which is due out Nov. 23.

The dark and haunting ballad, written and produced by Ne-Yo, seems to be about a woman in a rough relationship with a dangerous man, and on the verge of suicide. The song eerily ends with a gunshot, and the lyrics are sure to remind everyone of her tumultuous abusive relationship with Chris Brown.

"As my life flashes before my eyes/ I'm wondering, will I ever see another sunrise?/ So many won't get the chance to say goodbye/ But it's too late to pick up the value of my life."

The video for the song is expected to premiere soon on ABC, and we can truly expect something R rated since the artwork for the single features a defiant Rihanna covered only by barbed wire and holding onto a chain hanging from the ceiling.

"The best and safest way I can say this is that Rihanna has some stuff to say and she's going to say it," Ne-Yo told MTV News before the song was released. "And she ain't going to make no apologies for it. ... I've heard a good majority of the album ... world, get ready. That's all I'm going to say: World, get ready."
