Miley Cyrus is being sued by a company alleging she copied Bruno Mars.
In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles court Monday, Tempo Music Investments alleged Cyrus copied elements of Mars’ 2013 track “When I Was Your Man” in her career-defining hit song “Flowers,” which was released last year on her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth’s birthday.
“Any fan of Bruno Mars’ ‘When I Was Your Man’ knows that Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers’ did not achieve all of that success on its own. ‘Flowers’ duplicates numerous melodic, harmonic, and lyrical elements of ‘When I Was Your Man,'” the lawsuit alleges.
Tempo Music says Cyrus’ song includes “the melodic pitch design and sequence of the verse, the connecting bass-line, certain bars of the chorus, certain theatrical music elements, lyric elements, and specific chord progressions.”
