Skylar Grey (formerly Holly Brook), co-wrote three versions of what song that was later recorded by American rapper Eminem?
Love the Way You Lie "Love the Way You Lie" is a song recorded by the American rapper Eminem, featuring the Barbadian singer Rihanna, from Eminem's seventh studio album "Recovery" (2010). The singer and songwriter Skylar Grey wrote and recorded a demo of the song alongside the producer Alex da Kid when she felt she was in an abusive romantic relationship with the music industry. Eminem wrote the verses and chose Rihanna to sing the chorus, resulting in a collaboration influenced by their past experiences in difficult relationships. Recording sessions were held in Ferndale, Michigan, and Dublin, Ireland. Backed by guitar, piano and violin, the track is a midtempo hip hop ballad with a pop refrain, sung by Rihanna, and describes two lovers who refuse to separate despite being in a dangerous love–hate relationship.
Hell No (Leave Home) "Hell No (Leave Home)" is a song by American singer Monica. It was written by Bryan Michael Cox, Sean Garrett, and Carl Mitchell and co-produced by Cox and Garrett, and features guest vocals by rapper Twista for her fourth studio album, "The Makings of Me" (2006). The song was released as the album's fourth and final single on May 14, 2007 (see 2007 in music) in the United States during the second quarter of 2007 (see 2007 in music). With a lack of promotion from the record label, the single failed to chart on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100. It reached a peak position of number 114 on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
