Rumours is the eleventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Largely recorded in California during 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut and was released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records. The record peaked at the top of both the main United States Billboard chart and the United Kingdom Albums Chart. "Go Your Own Way", "Don't Stop", "Dreams", and "You Make Loving Fun" were released as singles. A Grammy Award winner, Rumours is Fleetwood Mac's most successful release with sales of over 40 million copies worldwide.
The band wanted to expand on the commercial success of the 1975 record Fleetwood Mac, but struggled with relationship breakups before recording started. The Rumours studio sessions were marked by hedonistic behaviour and interpersonal strife between Fleetwood Mac members; these experiences informed the album's lyrics. Influenced by pop music, the record's tracks were recorded using a combination of acoustic and electric instruments. The mixing process delayed the completion of Rumours, but was finished by the end of 1976. Following the album's release in 1977, Fleetwood Mac undertook worldwide promotional tours.
The phone lies on the floor
I've just hung up and the story's over
As I lie down I wonder
If things will ever be the same
A faint light shines through the shutters
And dust glitters in the haze
I close my eyes and I remember
How lonely you seemed to be in those days
Can you trust anyone
When suspicion is all around your mind
Spreading inside
I can feel it in your mind
Thoughts can be worse than words
When they're ruled by doubts
Can you trust anyone
When suspicion is all around your mind
Some day you may understand
There's nothing worse than treacheries
Commited by the ones you like
Fueled by gossips and believed lies
