"Rumour Has It" is a song by the American singer Donna Summer, released in 1978. It was a moderate hit, peaking at #53 in the US and #19 in the UK,[1] and #20 in the Netherlands.[2]

The song was originally featured on Summer's Once Upon a Time album, a concept album that tells the "fairytale" story of a girl's adventures as she goes from rags to riches. This song is found towards the end of the album, when the main character hears that someone is "looking for a girl like me" and hopes that the man in question is someone she has liked for some time. One of the verses in the original version was edited out for the 7" format.
