Calvin Harris has revealed that We Found Love was turned down by two other popstars and that it was originally meant to be the third single off his own album.
Talking to the new issue of Q, the Michael Jackson hitmaker explained: It was going to be the third single off my new album and I needed a vocalist, so it was like, Anyone want to sing on this? Then someone said, I do, and it was Rihanna.
Two other people could have released it, though.
Imagine being the A&R that turned down We Found Love. Literally, WFT.
Mind you, thats not to say that Calvin and Rihanna now hang out on the regular. Shes tried. Shes like, yeah come on and hang out in my dressing room, he continued. Im like, Arrghh. I mean what do I say to Rihanna? Theres nothing! Shes great, shes well friendly, shes nice, I see that. But
I cant. Im from Dumfries, man!
Calvin also announced that his next single (after the one with Example) will feature the dulcet tones of Florence Welch and will be called Sweet Nothing.
Q is in the shops as of next week.
