Rihanna 'Connected' to 'Love the Way You Lie' Because of Chris Brown AbuseRihanna opened up about her decision to collaborate with Eminem on "Love the Way You Lie" is because she "connected" with the song's references to her experiences with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
"It's something that we've both experienced on different sides, different ends of the table," she told Access Hollywood. "It was authentic and it was real, it was believable for us to do a record like that, and it's also something that needed to be done."
The "Umbrella" hitmaker continued, "I knew if he sent me a record there must be something to it. It couldn't just be, 'Oh, Duh! She was in that relationship so we have to get her.' The lyrics were so deep, so beautiful and intense. It's something that I understood, something I connected with."
