The Original "Love The Way You Lie" by Skyar Grey. BEFORE Rihanna (#MP3 #DOWNLOAD)

Rihanna's not the 1st one to sing "Love The Way You Lie" matter fact, she didn't even write it. No, RiRi doesn't write her own stuff so that's when singer/ song writer, Skylar Grey, came into the picture.

Skylar says,

“I’m not primarily a songwriter for other people, I really am an artist. I wrote the demo initially for myself because I thought, ‘Oh, I have this big song, and now I have a little bit of a launching pad to put out my own stuff. As soon as Rihanna and her team heard my demo, they were like, ‘Oh we want it for Rihanna’s album,’ so I had to make the decision if I was going to let them have it or not. But I did and so it was on Rihanna’s album, too. “I still felt like it would be cool to let people hear my version of it, too.”
