Rihanna was set to grant fans their wishes and bring out her first music in three years before her surprise pregnancy announcement at this year's Super Bowl.
The Diamonds songstress, 34, stunned the audience in the State Farm Stadium in Arizona as well as the millions watching around the world when she revealed her baby bump during her eagerly anticipated performance.
But she's admitted it could've been a much different year if she wasn't expecting baby number two with A$AP Rocky.
Discussing her potential new tunes, the Barbadian beauty admitted she's kept falling in and out of love with the recordings.
Speaking to British Vogue, she said listening back to an unreleased song is "almost like trying to dress like you used to dress".

"But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos."
She did admit, however, that any release would have to be created with "the right background music with the visuals".
"I can’t just go shoot a video to me talking,” she said.

"So last minute, we decided to embrace it and share it with the world."
