What’s the meaning of “This is what you came for” from Rihanna and Calvin Harris?

The song is definitely about Calvin Harris’s ex-relation with Taylor Swift, as it was composed when they were together.

According to the hot news of the moment, Taylor Swift co-writed the song, so there are high chances that the song is about them.

It means that Calvin Harris came for this song from Taylor Swift, he came only to steal the song 🙂 I’m just joking. She only had eyes for him, but he only had eyes for the lyrics and the song.

We all know “This is what you came for” is not Rihanna’s or Calvin Harris’s song, but Taylor’s.

It was composed by her, it has such a Taylor Swift-ish mood and vibe, right?

Lightning strikes every time she moves

And everybody’s watching her

But she’s looking at you, oh, oh

 

Taylor Swift is an artist that’s well known for writing lyrics from her own experiences. And this time she might as well talk about HER  There are paparazzi all over the place, chasing her, and “everybody’s watching her”, but she’s looking at “YOU”. So, even though she’s in everyone’s center of attention, her mind and soul are with “him”. We don’t know who that was at that time, maybe Calvin Harris, maybe someone else.

“Baby, this is what you came for” reffers of him caming for her, of course. Calvin maybe.

It’s such a simple, repetitive song, yet so catchy.

[CHORUS]

Baby, this is what you came for

Lightning strikes every time she moves

And everybody’s watching her

But she’s looking at you, oh, oh

[VERSE]

We go fast with the game we play

Who knows why it’s gotta be this way?

We say nothing more than we need

I say “your place” when we leave

It’s not much to say about the lyrics, as they are quite simple and self-explanatory, but I don’t understand why Calvin Harris chose Rihanna for this song. She has an amazing voice and it shouldn’t have been modified like this for a housey-like song.
