Did Selena Gomez steal a year without rain from Leona Lewis?

Answer 1

Both Selena Gomez and Rihanna did sing the song "A Year Without Rain," but Selena Gomez didn't exactly steal it.

"A Year Without Rain" was writtern by Lindy Robbins and Toby Gad, not Rihanna. It's common for songwriters to shop their songs around to multiple artists. Rihanna recorded a demo of the song, which is how her and producers, label, etc. decide if they like the song for her. She decided not to use the song on her album. So then Selena Gomez got the song and used it as the title track of her album "A Year Without Rain." On that album, Selena only contributed to the writing of four songs.

Answer 2

Selena Didnt steal it.
