Released on August 13, 2021, "Rumors" marked Lizzo's first new song since the release of her third studio album, Cuz I Love You, 28 months previously. In the meantime, the plus-sized singer became a fixture on the net as people discussed her appearance and actions. During this brash and brassy song, Lizzo criticizes the rumormongers and the tittle-tattle they spread online.
Cardi B joins Lizzo on the track. The Bronx rapper reiterates the song's concept of being all true and not giving a damn what others think. She flexes about her records living in the Top 10 and takes issue with deceitful artists who post fake streaming numbers.
The song marks Lizzo's first collaboration with Cardi B. Lizzo told Zane Lowe on Apple Music her fellow Atlantic artist was her one and only choice for the song. "There was literally no one else," the Texas-raised star said. "From the day the ink dried on her Atlantic contract, I said, 'Please get me on a song with Cardi B.' She's just funny. I like funny people and she can rap."
