"Pose" is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna for her eighth studio album, Anti (2016); it is one of three bonus tracks included on the deluxe edition. She wrote the song in collaboration with Bibi Bourelly, Hit-Boy and Travis Scott, and it was produced by the latter two. Kuk Harrell was also enlisted as Rihanna's vocal producer. On April 14, 2017, Rihanna released a four-track EP which included remixes of "Pose" by the Far East Movement, Salva, Deadly Zoo and Eva Shaw.

"Pose" is a grime song with "Trap&B" influences and a "grungy" and "garbling" production. The song features bragging lyrics in which the singer confronts her critics.

Critical response to "Pose" was positive; a number of critics praised its composition and drew comparisons between the song and her 2015 single "Bitch Better Have My Money". Following the release of Anti, the song made an appearance on French charts. Shortly after the release of the Pose (Dance Remixes) EP, the song debuted at number 45 on the US Dance Club Songs chart, before peaking at number one. In doing so it became Rihanna's thirtieth number one on the chart and her sixth from Anti. "Pose" was featured on the set list of Rihanna's 2016 Anti World Tour.
