Three years after Chris Brown made headlines for assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna, the duo reunited for a remix of Rih's "Birthday Cake," from her album Talk That Talk.
The song, co-produced by Da Internz and The-Dream, features Chris Brown fantasizing about how he wants to "lick the icing" and "blow the candles off" Rihanna's birthday cake. In the new version, Rihanna also asks Chris Brown, "Remember how we did it?" proposing a different kind of reunion by suggesting, "If you still want to kiss it, come, come, come and get it."
Earlier this month, producer Kosine of Da Internz hinted at the guest star on the remix, telling MTV News, "The feature on there is gonna shock the world."
Fan Reaction to the "Birthday Cake" remix is all over Twitter. From those who still won't let go of the 2009 incident to the faithful who argue that listeners should just accept and enjoy the music for what it is.
Rihanna also released, on the same day, of Chris' brand-new single "Turn Up the Music," but most of the attention has gone to the "Cake" remix.

Come and put your name on it, put your name on it
Come and put your name on it, your name

He want that cake cake cake cake….. (But you wanna put your name on it)
Ooh baby I like it
You so excited
Don't try to hide it

Nothing else like this
I'ma make you my bitch
And it's not even my birthday (my birthday)
But you wanna put your name on it
And it's not even my birthday (my birthday, my birthday, my birthday)
And he trying to put his name on it
[Chris Brown]
Leggo
Girl, I wanna f--- you right now (right now)
Been a long time, I've been missing your body
Let me, let me turn the lights down (lights down)
When I, when I go down it's a private party
Ooh, it's not even her birthday (her birthday)
But I wanna lick the icing off (the icing off)
Give it to her in the worst way (the worst way)
Can't wait to blow her candles out
I want that cake, cake, cake

Don't try to hide it
I'ma make you my bitch

Doggy want that kitty
Give me a heart attack and throw it back, now watch me get it
Ain’t new to this but you the sh--
Damn girl you pretty
Blowing out your candles
Let me make a couple wishes
[Rihanna]
Remember how you did it?
Remember how you fit it?
If you still want to kiss it
Come, come, come and get it
Sweeter than a rice cake
Cake worth sippin'
Kill it, tip it
Cake, fill it
If you sexy and you know it
And you ain’t afraid to show it
Put a candle on my mother f---in' back, baby, blow it
Love the way you do it, when you do it like that
Show up with them stacks
Screaming racks on my rack
Wrap it up, wrap it up
Boy, while I take this bow off
Talk that talk, yeah I know I'm such a showoff
Daddy, make a wish
Put this cake in your face
And it's not even my birthday
[Chris Brown]
Ooh, it's not even her birthday (her birthday)
But I wanna lick the icing off (the icing off)
Give it to her in the worst way (the worst way)
