About music video: It directed by Anthony Mandler, was shot on an indoor soundstage in Castaic, California on April 23, 2008. An MTV News reporter called the video "a fairly glam affair", and Levine referred to it as "this kind of ultra-glamorous, photography-based, late-'70s/ early-'80s situation" and "really stylish and really beautiful", saying that "Rihanna's physical presence is undeniable". The Guardian wrote, "The concept appears to be high-end erotica… If the [smartly furnished] sets resemble the kind of rooms nobody really lives in, then Rihanna sports a selection of outfits nobody really wears". The video premiered on May 13 on Total Request Live. Rihanna said on The Today Show, when she went to perform for the Toyota Concert Series, and MTV's TRL that this was once of her favorite videos to make and enjoyed it.
Background:The song deals with Adam Levine and Rihanna playing "hard to get" and shows a love-hate relationship with the two. In the song, the verses push and pull the obvious sexual desire between the two subjects. There's also underlying jealousy about other lovers between their relations, but they both seem to revert back to wanting each other. - By Wikipedia

男女的恋情,是很难表述清楚的东西…它在性爱的基础上,有时倾注在缠绵的感情上, 有时搀杂着儿童般的戏譃，有时又浸透在自尊的敏感中…男女的恋情总是永恒地着搅动着世人的心,也总是不乏频频地迸发出迷人的魅力。。。.
Adam和Rihanna都是被公认的出色性感摇滚歌星，他们俩的演唱和表演都非常投入，他们把这男女的恋情用一种很特别的方式来表达，感觉有情，有趣，有怨，有猜疑，有爱，相当诱人，在艺术表现手法上可以说是一种新颖的尝试。不过我感觉Rihanna的表演稍微有些过于做作了。
乐队的伴奏和配唱都很富有弹性和节奏感，我很喜欢Maroon 5 摇滚乐队，感觉它的演奏有时代感，乐器的搭配和谐而有生气，总能给人一种活泼欢快的情调，很酷。

If I Never See Your Face Again
[Adam]
Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away
You say I’m not your type, But I can make you sway.
It makes you burn to learn, You’re not the only one
I’d let you be if you put down your blazing gun.
[Rihanna]
Now you’ve gone somewhere else, Far away
I don’t know if I will find you (find you, find you).
But you feel my breath, On your neck
Can’t believe I’m right behind you (right behind you).
[Both]
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind
‘Cause we gone much further than I thought we’d get tonight
[Rihanna]
Sometimes you move so well
It’s hard not to give in.
[Adam]
I’m lost, I can’t tell
Where you end and I begin.
[Rihanna]
It makes me burn to learn
I’m with another man.
[Adam]
I wonder if he’s half
The lover that I am.
[Adam]
Now you’e gone somewhere else, Far away
I don’t know if I will find you (find you, find you).
But you feel my breath, On your neck
Can’t believe I’m right behind you (right behind you).
[Both]
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind
‘Cause we gone much further than I thought we’d get tonight
[Adam]
Baby, baby
Please believe me
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind
(Promise not to leave me behind)
[Rihanna]
Take me down, but take it easy
Make me think but don’t deceive me
Talk to me bout taking your time
(Talk to me, talk to me)
[Rihanna]
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
[Both]
And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind
‘Cause we gone much further than I thought we’d get tonight
[Both]
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind
‘Cause we gone much further than I thought we’d get tonight 
| 如果我不再看到你的脸
[亚当]
现在已是夏末，我任你离去
说我不是你的意中人，可我却让你动心
你恼火地发现你不是我唯一的情人
我情愿让你是，若你放下手中冒火的枪 [蕾安娜]
此时你远离我而去
我不知道能不能找到你 （找到你，找到你）
你的脖子感受到我的气息
难以置信我和你近在咫尺。（近在咫尺） [重唱]
因为你能给我带来更多让我总回到你身边
我感到一次好过一次
如果我不再看到你 我并不在意
因为今晚我们做的已经超过了我们所想要做的 
[蕾安娜]
有时你做事很得体
很难不坠入情网 [亚当]
我迷惑不解
你情归何方,我又情起何处? [蕾安娜]
让我恼火地发现
我在和另一个男人 [亚当]
我奇怪
他是否和我一样都是你的半个情人 [亚当]
此时你远离我而去
我不知道能不能找到你 （找到你，找到你）
你的脖子感受到我的气息
难以置信我和你近在咫尺。（近在咫尺） [重唱]
因为你能给我带来更多让我总回到你身边
我感到一次好过一次
如果我不再看到你 我并不在意
因为今晚我们做的已经超过了我们所想要做的 [亚当]
亲爱的，亲爱的
请相信我
把你的心和我相连
保证不要离我而去
（保证不要离我而去）
[蕾安娜]
不必这样上心，轻松些
让我想想，可别欺骗我
和我谈可需要时间
（和我谈，和我谈） [蕾安娜]
因为你能给我带来更多让我总回到你身边
我感到一次好过一次 [重唱]
如果我不再看到你 我并不在意
因为今晚我们做的已经超过了我们所想要做的
[重唱]
因为你能给我带来更多让我总回到你身边
我感到一次好过一次
如果我不再看到你 我并不在意
因为今晚我们做的已经超过了我们所想要做的
