"Bajan"? And all this time I thought the title "Pon de Replay" was Jamaican "patois" (or rather I should say Jamaican "creole"). See, "pon" is a word I often hear in dancehall tracks, etc.
I'm more towards it being in Spanish (pon=put de=on replay=replay), not English slang (pon=upon de=the replay=replay). Firewithinfreak ( talk) 18:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
-It's not Spanish, despite what it looks like. Rihanna is from Barbados, "Pon" is a common word in most Caribbean Creoles, and means "on, upon". The title could then be translated into Standard English as "on replay", if "de" is understood as an article. Also, "de" does not mean "on" in Spanish, it means "of, from". There's no reason to assume it's Spanish. — Preceding

Hey the song Hit Me Up by Gia Farrell is remeniscent of this song. Does anybody any additional information? Thanks. Meursault2004 10:48, 20 January 2007 (UTC) Not really.. 211.30.195.154 12:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Is it just me or do the chart positions not match on the sidebar and on the table?
Actually, "For the Love of You" is by The Isley Brothers and Houston just covered it. Does the source state Houston's "For the Love of You"? Somehow The Guardian isn't loading for me. Novice7 ( talk) 15:18, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
Why is the article scrunched up at the bottom? Muthamonster ( talk) 05:08, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... I see a few flaws
I fixed the reference part of it; seems you missed out the "http://" part of the url; since you changed everything to American English, the date format is now ok; I'll pass it; though I do find it weird that you put an image of Whitney Houston in the article instead of a screenshot from the music video- SCB '92 ( talk) 18:24, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
"Pon De Replay" samples heavily from the Diwali Riddim. This should be noted in the article.

I do not agree with 2004 being listed as the recording date, for the actual commercially released track. Can someone actually provide evidence that Rihanna did NOT re-record the song for commercial release? I do not see any evidence that the demo was released "as-is". Am I missing something?-- Carmaker1 ( talk) 10:29, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
