Rihanna performed a short version of "Only Girl (In the World)" at the 31st Brit Awards on February 15, 2011, as part of a medley with two other singles from Loud: "S&M" and "What's My Name?". She had planned to perform "S&M" only (to coincide with its United Kingdom release), but was asked by the British Phonographic Industry to "tone down the sexual references in the song's lyrics".
2011 年 2 月 15 日，蕾哈娜在第 31 届全英音乐奖上演唱了《Only Girl (In the World)》的简短版，这首歌与《Loud》中的另外两首单曲《S&M》和《What's My Name?》构成了组曲。她原本计划只表演《S&M》（以便配合其在英国的发行），但英国唱片业协会要求她“淡化歌词中的性暗示”。
