Given that his previous hit, "I'm the One," featured a powerhouse cast with Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne, the new single has high expectations to match.
Considering that "I'm the One" has hit the number one spot on the Hot 100 in May, the stakes are even higher, but Khaled looks to be confident that his long-awaited team-up with Rihanna will have what it takes to reach the top of the charts.
DJ Khaled has been trying to work with the Barbadian singer for several years now, as he revealed in an interview with "The Show." "Seven, eight years I've been trying to do this," he said, referring to the fact that "Wild Thoughts" will be his first work with Rihanna.
"I always put the kites out there that I wanted to work with her. But at the same time, while I was putting the kites out there, I was always getting the right record ready. You've gotta start with the right energy to see if something comes back that's possible," Khaled added, noting how this collaboration has been several years in the making.
