The Ones That Got Away: 18 HUGE Songs Turned Down By Other Singers

18. Rihanna's 'We Found Love' was turned down by Nicole Scherzinger
Scherzy was sent the demo of 'We Found Love' but couldn't take on the track as she was so busy. She later said, "I passed on 'We Found Love'. I got the demo of that song and I was busy at the time. They’d sent me a few dance tracks and I wasn’t able to get to them and I was like, 'Oh, there’s so much dance and I want to take a break from it'. That was my fault. I slept on it."
