The app was downloaded to your iPhone using a different Apple ID. That may have been the case when someone else was logged into your phone. You will need to delete the app and download it with your Apple ID. Otherwise it will require the credentials of the Apple ID that was used when it was downloaded. Note that this will also delete any data that belongs to the app.
