About
“Disturbia” was co-written by Rihanna’s then-boyfriend and fellow recording artist, Chris Brown (alongside his team, the Graffiti Artizts), and was originally intended for his re-release of 2007’s Exclusive. His vocals also can be heard in the background of the song. Although he still earns royalties for the highly successful record, he apparently regrets writing it for her, for reasons he has yet to reveal. In an interview with USA Today, Chris spoke on giving the song to Rihanna: It’s fun being creative and even if you have a concept in your head to write about, you can write it and give it and give it to someone else because it might not personally fit you, but it might be an idea you have.
