Good Girl Gone Bad is the third studio album by Barbadian singer Rihanna. It was released on May 31, 2007, by Def Jam Recordings and SRP Records. Rihanna worked with various producers on the album, including Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, Neo da Matrix, Timbaland, Carl Sturken, Evan Rogers and Stargate. Inspired by Brandy's fourth studio album Afrodisiac (2004), Good Girl Gone Bad is a pop, dance-pop and R&B record with 1980s music influences. Described as a turning point in Rihanna's career, it represents a departure from the Caribbean sound of her previous releases, Music of the Sun (2005) and A Girl like Me (2006).
Good Girl Gone Bad was a critical and commercial success, reaching number two on the US Billboard 200 chart and selling over 9 million copies worldwide. It spawned several hit singles, including the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Umbrella" and "Don't Stop the Music", as well as the top-ten singles "Shut Up and Drive", "Hate That I Love You", and "Take a Bow". The album was praised for its production, Rihanna's vocals, and its catchy and danceable songs.
Good Girl Gone Bad is considered to be one of the best albums of the 2000s and is credited with helping Rihanna to transition from a teen pop star to a mature and successful artist. It has been cited as an influence by many other artists, including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande.
