"Bitch Better Have My Money" (otherwise known in clean and radio versions as "B**** Better Have My Money" or simply "Better Have My Money") is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna. It was written by Rihanna, Bibi Bourelly, producer Deputy, co-producer Kanye West, and additional producers Travis Scott and WondaGurl.[1][2][3][4] The song was digitally released on March 26, 2015, through the iTunes Store. "Bitch Better Have My Money" is a trap song and represents a notable musical departure from the previous single, "FourFiveSeconds".

Upon release critics gave the song mixed reviews, finding the song catchy and ready to be played in clubs, but thought it was a step down from the preceding single. The song placed at number 95 on Pitchfork's list of The 200 Best Songs of the 2010s Decade.[5] "Bitch Better Have My Money" reached the top-10 in eight countries, including New Zealand and France, as well as the top-20 in six more countries including Canada, the United States and Australia. To promote the song, Rihanna performed at the 2nd iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 29, 2015. A accompanying music video was released on July 2, 2015.
