When news broke that Calvin Harris and Rihanna had recorded a track together the couple were warned that the single had better be good.

We Found Love has already reached number three on the US iTunes chart and it seems Rihanna is trying her hardest to make the video a hit too.

Rihanna, 23, flew to Bangor, County Down, Belfast, and today began filming the video for her collaboration with dance music producer Calvin Harris.

After dancing around an American car in the middle of a field the Only Girl In The World singer changed into a red bikini and wore an over sized cowboy shirt.

Between filming Rihanna can be seen puffing away on a cigarette and and getting her hair and make up touched up by her crew.

The song takes on a dance direction and follows a house riff that slowly builds up before the heavy beat drops.

The title, We Found Love, began trending on Twitter after Def Jam began a massive online campaign over two weeks ago.

Calvin Harris and Rihanna previously worked together when he warmed up for her during her Australian tour earlier this year.
