LOS ANGELES, CA  [Friday Jul.20.2007]  /WMQT.com/ -- Rihanna's "Umbrella" almost became someone else's hit single.

But the R&B star wasn't about to let producers give the track to another singer. Rihanna tells Teenmusic.com that she fought for her chance to record the song:

"I said: 'Listen, Umbrella is my song!' He must've thought I was really pushy and laughed it off."

"But I turned his face back to my own: 'No, I'm serious - I need Umbrella'. Two days later we found out the song was mine."
