Muni Long Recalls Writing Rihanna’s “California King Bed” In Minutes

In a recent interview with Complex, Muni Long, the talented singer, songwriter, and producer, opened up about her experience writing the chart-topping song “California King Bed” for Rihanna’s 2010 album, Loud. Despite the song being a fan favourite and remaining popular even a decade after its release, Muni Long revealed that it didn’t take her long to write it and recalled writing it in just a few minutes. Muni Long explained that she was in the middle of a significant move when she hit the studio to work on the track. She rushed through the writing process to return to her furniture shopping online. The Floridian artist confidently stated that she had written a song initially intended for another famous singer. However, she later discovered that Rihanna had taken it.

She shared,

“I was in Miami at the time for ‘California King Bed,’ working out of We The Best studio, and I was working with Jermaine [Jackson] from The Runners,”

“They had the chords and everything. I listened, I went back into the room, and they gave me the file.”

“I wrote the song in like 10 minutes. I was like, ‘Turn it up, let me get this done real quick,’ so I could go back to looking for my furniture,”

“Originally, they were trying to pitch it to Kelly Clarkson,” Then I came back two months later, and my publisher, Ryan Press, said they would cut it for Rihanna. I was super excited.”

It is truly remarkable how quickly she wrote such a beautiful song that is loved by millions of people all over the world. While fans enjoy reminiscing about Rihanna’s greatest hits, they eagerly anticipate new music. Fortunately, when asked about a possible new album, her husband, ASAP Rocky, confirmed that she is already in the studio working on new music for her dedicated fans.
