00:00 You probably know this one.
00:01 *I'm friends with the monsters that's under my bed*
00:04 *Get along with the voices inside of my head*
00:07 Well, this song was stolen from its owner.
00:10 This song was written by Bibi Rexha.
00:12 At the time, she just got kicked out of her first record company
00:15 and she's in a big period of anxiety.
00:17 She thinks that this time she will never succeed in this field.
00:19 But scrolling on the internet, she comes across a quote.
00:22 "We stop looking for the monsters under our beds when we realize they are in us."
00:26 This sentence greatly inspires Bibi Rexha, who goes to the studio
00:29 and she starts composing a song with one of her friends.
00:32 At the end of the session, she is convinced of the potential of music.
00:35 But right next to her, there is a guy from Eminem's label
00:37 who heard the song and managed to get it back and send it to Eminem.
00:41 At this moment, Bibi Rexha is not aware of it yet.
00:43 She goes home extremely motivated.
00:45 Except that a few days later, in the same studio,
00:47 she is informed that Eminem wants to put it on the sound
00:50 and that it is out of the question that she sings on the sung part.
00:53 However, they absolutely want her to do the yodels, that is to say this part.
00:57 *Yodels*
00:58 For Rexha, it is out of the question.
01:00 First, she wants to keep her music, and then if Eminem puts it on,
01:03 she wants her to do the sung parts.
01:05 The label team is against it and answers calmly,
01:07 "If you don't sing, we'll make you sing."
01:09 Under the threat, Bibi Rexha has no choice.
01:11 She puts her yodels on the chorus part and at the end of the session,
01:14 the team tells her, "You have a beautiful voice, we will surely call you to do the sung part."
01:18 A year goes by in the greatest silence.
01:20 She has no news of her song.
01:22 And one day, her mother sends her a message, telling her,
01:25 "Oh look, it's your song that's on the radio."
01:27 It was at this moment that she discovered that Rihanna had put it on the sung part,
01:30 and that no one thought it was good to at least warn her.
