"Love on the Brain" is a song written by producer Fred Ball, "with additional writing by"[1] Joseph Angel and Robyn Fenty (Rihanna). It was first released by Rihanna on her 2016 album, Anti. Angelina has covered it twice, once in a short Instagram clip and once in a longer one where she is seated at a (digital) piano.

Short Instagram clip
Angelina Jordan - Love On The Brain Rehearsal (short clip from Insta) 2020↗ was uploaded to YouTube on 2020-01-13 by Rusty Shackleford. According to him, it was originally uploaded to Angelina's Instagram account earlier that same month. The video is 41 seconds long and shows her recording (mostly) the pre-chorus and chorus parts of the song in a studio setting.
At the piano
Angelina Jordan (13) - Love On The Brain (Rihanna) - Full song (with lyrics) (practice session)↗ was uploaded to YouTube on 2021-04-02 by Rusty Shackleford. According to him, it was "originally posted" (where is uncertain) in January 2021, but was "[l]ikely recorded" in 2019 in "her music corner" (presumably in her home).[2] The tempo of this cover is slightly faster than the other. She sings the full song (except for the explicit parts). Although she appears to be playing the piano as she sings, she is actually singing over a piano karaoke track — specifically, Love On The Brain (Piano Karaoke Instrumental) Rihanna↗, posted to the Sing2Piano YouTube channel on 2017-02-03. It is not known why she appears to be mimicking the physicality of playing the piano in the video, even though she is not. She did the same thing with Adele's "When We Were Young", in two short clips posted to Instagram at around the same time;[3][4][5] in that case she also used a Sing2Piano karaoke track.[6]
