In took a lil while for this, but Rihanna has released the second part of her ‘Road to ‘Talk That Talk” documentary. In the new clip the Pop diva takes you behind-the-scenes of the making of her sixth studio album, including trips back home to Barbados, her album art photo shoot, fun nights-in with her pop pal Katy Perry, and a performance in front of thousands of people on her album release day.

Of course, making an album isn’t all fun — the non-stop stress can really get to an artist, even one as confident as Rihanna. ”This is the craziest schedule I’ve ever been on in my entire life,” she tells the camera crew, recounting one of the more difficult moments of the recording process — having to get a million things done while being sick (and hooked up to an IV, no less).
