Miley Cyrus faces a copyright infringement lawsuit, accused of copying elements from Bruno Mars’ song for her hit ‘Flowers.’ Tempo Music Investments, which owns part of the copyright for Mars’ 2012 track ‘When I Was Your Man,’ claims Cyrus’ 2023 song bears ‘many musical similarities’ to Mars’ track, including the chorus, harmony, melody, chord progressions, and lyrics. Bruno Mars is not named as a plaintiff in the lawsuit. Representatives for both artists have not yet responded to requests for comment.
Earlier this year, Miley Cyrus won her first Grammys with ‘Flowers,’ earning Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, beating artists like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. In her acceptance speech, she stated that while the award was significant, she hoped it wouldn’t change her life, emphasising that every individual is remarkable in their own way.
‘Flowers’ is rumoured to be about Cyrus’ ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth. Despite her long-standing music career, she questioned why it took so long for her to receive recognition from the Recording Academy, highlighting her success in both numbers and cultural impact. However, she clarified that her remarks were not about arrogance but self-pride. Cyrus started her career at 12 on Disney Channel’s ‘Hannah Montana’ and later found chart-topping success with hits like ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ and ‘Wrecking Ball.’
The lawsuit against Miley Cyrus over ‘Flowers’ highlights ongoing concerns in the music industry regarding creative overlap and copyright infringement, especially when songs exhibit noticeable similarities in melody and harmony.
