The 36-year-old pop star's 2006 record has a huge secret, according to songwriter Evan "Kidd" Bogar.

While speaking on Daniel Wall on Behind the Wall podcast, Bogar dished that the Fenty mogul's first No. 1 song has several popular '80s song titles in the second verse.

He explained, "When I wrote it, I had no idea what I was doing. The whole second verse of that song is '80s song titles strung together as sentences because I thought it would be clever."

The lyrics in the second verse for SOS reference A-Ha's, Take on Me, (I Just) Died in Your Arms by Cutting Crew, and Michael Jackson's hit, The Way You Make Me Feel.

Color us surprised!

Bogart added that "no one" notices the titles when listening to SOS, but fans will probably never listen to the track the same way again!

While it's unclear if or when the Diamonds hitmaker will drop new music, fans can still enjoy RiRi's previous hits – and decipher more hidden gems!
