It’s been five years since Rihanna and Scottish DJ Calvin Harris struck gold with their smash hit “We Found Love,” and that hiatus has been worth the wait, it seems: The two have finally paired up again with a new single, “This Is What You Came For.” The track marks Rihanna’s return to bouncier electronic pop after her considerably edgier Anti and is already a probable contender for song of the summer—it may even be a stepping stone on her path to breaking the Beatles' record number of No. 1 hits:

In the spirit of their renewed collaboration, Rihanna and Harris performed “We Found Love” together at Coachella last week, where we also got a glimpse of their new single’s artwork—courtesy of Taylor Swift’s wardrobe:
