"Rumour Has It"
Song

"Rumour Has It" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Adele from her second studio album, 21. The song was written by Adele and Ryan Tedder.[1] The song is the fourth single off the album in the Netherlands.

Background

"Rumour Has It" is a percussion-driven jazz number[2] that Adele described as a "bluesy pop stomping song".[3] She explained that the song was not inspired by the media, but was aimed at her own friends, who frequently spread rumours about her break-up with her boyfriend.[4][3] "Rumour Has It" contrasts with the second Tedder-collaborated song, and the album's third track, "Turning Tables", produced by Jim Abbiss. The song was also promoted on ABC Family's The Lying Game.
