Skylar Grey - Love The Way You Lie

You know Eminem and Rihanna's version of "Love The Way You Lie." And you know Rihanna's rendition where she takes lead vocals, from her album Loud. Now prepare to hear songwriter Skylar Grey's original demo for the Grammy-nominated tune. "I wrote the demo initially for myself because I thought, 'Oh, I have this big song, and now I have a little bit of a launching pad to put out my own stuff'," Skylar, whose real name is Holly Hafferman, told PopEater.

Grey continued: "As soon as Rihanna and her team heard my demo, they were like, 'Oh we want it for Rihanna's album,' so I had to make the decision if I was going to let them have it or not. But I did and so it was on Rihanna's album, too."

"Love The Way You Lie" is currently nominated for a total of five Grammys, including Record and Song of the year, and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
