Songwriter Sia, who wrote Rihanna’s “Diamonds”, was recently asked: “Have there been any songs you’ve given to other artists that you wish you recorded and released as your own?” She said: “There’s one that a I just gave to Rihanna. [Laughs] Like as soon as I played it for her manager, he flipped over it and [when] he left the house I felt sick. I was like, ‘F–k.’ It was going to be on my record, but he was over and I was playing him loads of jams. And I was like, ‘Maybe you’ll like this one…’ [Other than that] not really, I mean I did like ‘Perfume.’ I would have kept that for myself, but Britney [Spears] is a really sweet gal and I was happy to give it away.”
