Rihanna - Stay[MXR ReFix]

A Soulful ReFix For The Ones Who Stay

My take on Rihanna’s Stay turns one of its most vulnerable moments into a more rhythmic, soulful experience. I wanted to keep the emotional weight of the original while giving it a new heartbeat — something that can move on a dancefloor without losing that feeling of longing, uncertainty and wanting someone to stay. This is my MXR ReFix: a little deeper, a little more melodic, and built around the idea that sometimes you don't need a complicated answer. You just want someone to stay.

The guitar led the feeling one night chilling with my fiance and then it clicked that this could be made into a bootleg of Rihanna's stay

How does this feel to you?

Energetic
Made you move. You couldn't sit still.
Reflective
Made you think. Turned you inward.
Aggressive
Hard and confrontational. Teeth bared.
Relaxed
Settled you. Shoulders dropped.
Dark
Heavy and shadowy. A little menacing.
Dreamy
Floating, hazy, somewhere else entirely.
Nostalgic
Took you back somewhere.
Hopeful
Like something's going to be alright.
Melancholy
Beautiful sadness. The good kind of ache.
Euphoric
That hands-in-the-air moment. Pure joy.

When would you play this?

Be the first to say how this felt. A feeling and a moment are different things — this is the moment.

Training. Moving. Pushing.

Early hours. The light coming up.

Getting ready. The night ahead.
Sunday
Slow morning. Nowhere to be.
Winding Down
The end of the day. Slowing.

After midnight, when the world has gone quiet.

Just you. Door closed.

In the background while you focus.
