Rumor Has It

"Rumor Has It" es una canción coescrita y grabada por el cantante de música country estadounidense Clay Walker que alcanzó la cima de la lista Billboard Hot Country Songs. Fue lanzada en febrero de 1997 como el primer sencillo y pista principal de su álbum del mismo nombre. La canción fue escrita por Walker y M. Jason Greene. Background En una entrevista con Billboard, Walker dijo: "The lyric and content have become a lot more positive. [Strait's] 'Check Yes or No'--very positive; my song 'Rumor Has It'--very positive. When I do a concert, I can sing for 3- and 4- and 5-year-old kids and not have a guilty conscience about it. I don't want to go out there and depress people. I want them to smile and feel good and feel the way I feel. We don't live that long, and that's one thing that having MS made me realize. My God, you need to love your family, you need to love your friends, and you don't need to carry bitterness in your heart because you don't live that doggone long. That's about as simple as I can say it." Rumor Has It premiered on Walker's website on January 8, 1997. Danny O'Brian, Walker's manager said, "We thought it would be a great idea to let Clay's fans all over the world get a sneak peek at Clay's new material, and what better way than the internet." Critical reception Larry Flick of Billboard gave the song a mixed review by writing "The steel guitar based production by the singer with James Stroud has bounce. Also, Walker turns in a solid vocal performance, but the song is nothing memorable".
