"We Ride" is a pop/R&B song written by Tor Erik Hermansen, Mikkel S. Eriksen, and Makeba Riddick for Rihanna's second studio album A Girl like Me (2006). The song was confirmed as the album's third single by MTV and released in mid-2006 in the United states, where it failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100. Elsewhere, it reached the New Zealand Singles Chart top ten and UK Singles Chart top twenty. Because of its relative underperformance, the 2006 single "Break It Off" featuring Sean Paul began receiving airplay earlier than expected.

"We Ride (I See the Future)" is the first single (apart from the UK) released from Mary J.
