Rihanna co-wrote the song with Sia and Jesse Shatkin. It plays during the film's closing credits but is not included on the film's soundtrack. It was released on Jas a single to promote Star Trek Beyond. Also, to the powers that be: I don't think anyone would complain about a Sia & RiRi collaboration in which both artists are actually singing together. 'Sledgehammer' is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna. So it's not completely out of character that the "Sledgehammer" video has some pretty intense Sia vibes - nor is anyone complaining about this fact (and if you are, knock it off). Heck, according to Popsugar, Sia's new album This Is Acting has some tracks on it that were originally meant for Rihanna though they didn't make it onto Rihanna's album Anti, so it's clear these artists have some sort of connection. thats why I find it hard to take credit for songs Ive written. She also wrote Rihanna's hit, "Diamonds" which has a similar exotic feel and works hard to exemplify the depth of Rihanna's range. music with her never-ending love and affinity for writing when she merged. Now, this development isn't too surprising, after all Sia wrote "Sledgehammer" song for Rihanna to perform. But the most interesting thing about Rihanna's "Sledgehammer" is that it looks a lot like a Sia music video. With co-writing and co-production credits. The video, which features the song that debuted in the recent Star Trek Beyond trailer, finds RiRi on a desert planet casting some sort of alien magic and looking altogether otherworldly. After two slower songs, we had to take the energy up and bring in this gem of a song. Rihanna is decked out in intergalactic gear with elements of otherworldly alien. The video is on some next level futuristic vibes, and I’m about that life. For those of us who had been sitting by our computers, waiting patiently for a new Rihanna music video after "Work" ( work, work, work), the news that she officially dropped the video for "Sledgehammer" was much appreciated. Fresh off the news of Rihanna’s team up with Dior on the new Star Trek inspired sunglasses, is the release of her new single Sledgehammer from the motion picture Star Trek Beyond.
