How Rumors Start


Artist: Crone Fires
Key Signature: C major
Time Signature: 4/4
Artist's Description
How Rumors Start is a raw, unfiltered alt-country track that rips the mask off another woman’s lies and dares her to say one more word. This song tells the story of a woman who’s been smeared, misjudged, and used as target practice by someone too bitter to face her own reflection. But this isn’t a confession—it’s retaliation. She calls out the backstabber and hangs out this woman’s dirty laundry for everyone to see.
Backed by a steady beat, punchy guitar, and a voice that cuts clean through the noise, this track moves with purpose and power. It’s not here to explain or apologize. It’s here to set the record straight.
The lyrics come out swinging—a fiery confrontation between the woman everyone’s been whispering about and the one who’s been spreading the lies. Each verse builds the tension; each chorus throws it back with raw truth. The bridge? A threat wrapped in grit. The outro? A warning shot.

How Rumors Start

(Verse 1)
I heard you think I’m desperate,
that I can’t be trusted,
that I’m chasing after men who don’t want me,
that I don’t know when to quit,
that I’m feeling my age,
that I don’t want to be alone.

(Chorus)
You talked about me?
You cheated on your husbands —
of course, there’s more than one.
You gave up your baby and pretend it never happened.
You slept with your best friend’s man.
And whoever was still standing at closing time —
that’s who you went home with.

(Verse 2)
You think you know me.
You think you know where I go,
what I do,
who I see.
But you don’t know a thing.
You’re guessing, hoping,
making it up
because it makes you feel better
about your own wreck of a life.
You built your whole life on lies.
Even God can’t pull the truth out of you.

(Chorus)
You talked about me?
You cheated on your husbands —
of course, there’s more than one.
You gave up your baby and pretend it never happened.
You slept with your best friend’s man.
And whoever was still standing at closing time —
that’s who you went home with.

(Verse 3)
Who started this?
Who decided I was fair game?
Was it easier than looking at yourself?
What did I ever do to you —
except live a life you wanted?
You needed someone to blame.
You picked me because you thought I wouldn’t fight back.
You thought wrong.

(Chorus)
You talked about me?
You cheated on your husbands —
of course there’s more than one.
You gave up your baby and pretend it never happened.
You slept with your best friend’s man.
And whoever was still standing at closing time —
that’s who you went home with.

(Bridge)
You want a catfight?
This cat’s got teeth.
This cat’s got claws.
This cat draws blood.

(Outro)
So go ahead, say what you want.
Just remember —
you know how rumors start.
And you know how fast they spread.
