The Real Meaning Behind We Found Love By Rihanna

The story behind Rihanna's "We Found Love" is a funny one as the singer didn't plan on singing it. Her collaborator Calvin Harris explained in an interview with Fuse in 2013 that the collaboration came together by accident. "I was touring with her in Australia two years ago 'round about this time," he said. "She was listening to the set I'd played before, and she said she wanted to do something that kind of sounded like what I was playing."

Harris added that he was looking for a singer to sing on the track, but didn't think the song would end up with Rihanna. In fact, both Leona Lewis and Nicole Scherzinger came out to say in the years after the song's release that they had been offered to record it, but passed on because they wanted to record other tracks. "I got the demo of that song and I was busy at the time," Scherzinger said in 2013 via NME. "That was my fault. I slept on it."
