Overview

"Rumors" is a song by American actress and singer Lindsay Lohan from her debut studio album Speak (2004). Originally titled "Just What It Is", the song was written and produced by Cory Rooney, while additional writing was done by Lohan, Taryll Jackson and T. J. Jackson. It was released as Lohan's debut single and lead single from Speak on September 27, 2004, by Casablanca Records. The song's lyrics allude to the constant paparazzi and media backlash regarding Lohan. Music critics reviews were mixed; with statements like "infectious" or "unnecessary". "Rumors" achieved moderate commercial success worldwide, reaching top 30 positions in Australia, Austria, Germany and Switzerland. In the United States, the single peaked at number six on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, but was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping over 500,000 units. The accompanying music video for "Rumors" was directed by British director Jake Nava and featured Lohan attending a nightclub, playing around with the paparazzi. The video was nominated for Best Pop Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards and reached the top position on MTV's Total Request Live. In 2014, Billboard ranked the song in its "Top 50 Forgotten Gems from the Now! series", which list songs from the series that were underrated at the time of their release. Background and composition
