"Rumour Has It" is a song by the American singer Donna Summer, released in 1978. It was a moderate hit, peaking at #53 in the US and #19 in the UK, and #20 in the Netherlands.

The song was originally featured on Summer's Once Upon a Time album, a concept album that tells the "fairytale" story of a girl's adventures as she goes from rags to riches. This song is found towards the end of the album, when the main character hears that someone is "looking for a girl like me" and hopes that the man in question is someone she has liked for some time. One of the verses in the original version was edited out for the 7" format. It is one of the earliest examples of disco, funk, rock, and electronica in pop culture. This was the second big hit in the UK from her Once Upon A Time album, which is most notable for its electronic suite on side 2, that influenced punk rock artists in the development of the 1980s new wave movement.

"Rumour Has It" is a song by British singer Adele. The song was written by Adele and Ryan Tedder while the production was handled by Tedder. Adele has said the song was not inspired by the media but it was aimed at her friends who believed things they heard about her. It was the fourth single from 21 in the United States.

The song received critical acclaim from critics, who praised Adele's voice and the song's " catchiness". Even without having been released as a single, the song charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 16 and topped the Triple A chart. In the Netherlands, the record was released as the fourth single from 21 after " Rolling in the Deep", " Set Fire to the Rain" and " Someone Like You". The track received a Double Platinum certification by the RIAA for sales exceeding 2 million units in the US. It has been covered by Jeremih and by Glee cast during the episode " Mash Off" with another Adele song " Someone Like You", and also by Katharine McPhee during the episode " The Cost of Art" from the TV series Smash.
