However, he stated that she was already asked to be the featured artist on the lead single from Shakira’s upcoming album and did not have time to record the track. This single, “Can’t Remember to Forget You”, was released as the first single from Shakira’s self-titled tenth studio album on January 13, 2014.
That same month, it was announced that Rihanna had started planning her eighth studio album. She is working with producers such as DJ Mustard, David Guetta, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and Nicky Romero. On February 25, 2014, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, Jeffrey Katzenberg, announced that Rihanna will release a concept album based around the upcoming 3D animated film Home, which she also stars in alongside Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez. In May 2014, Rihanna left Def Jam to sign fully with Roc Nation who had managed her since October 2010.
