Miley Cyrus Lawsuit
Miley Cyrus is being sued for copyright infringement by Tempo Music Investments. The company claims it owns a share of the copyright for Bruno Mars’ song “When I Was Your Man.”. In the lawsuit, Tempo Music claims there are “so many” musical similarities between Miley’s “Flowers” and Bruno’s “When I Was Your Man” and that it’s obviously the result of Miley “intentionally copying” Bruno.
The company claims the melody, harmony, and chorus in “Flowers” are obviously similar to the verse in “When I Was Your Man.” They also say Miley’s song copies the chord progressions and mirrors some of the lyrics. Miley won a Grammy for “Flowers” this year. However, Tempo Music says she wouldn’t have received the award without Bruno’s song, which also reached the top of the charts. “It is undeniable based on the combination and number of similarities between the two recordings that ‘Flowers’ would not exist without ‘When I Was Your Man.’” is what Tempo Music wrote in the legal documents.
Tempo Music claims Miley, her label, and her producers all had access to Bruno’s song. They’re now going after Miley for money and want her barred from distributing or performing “Flowers.”. However, while Tempo Music is suing over the song, Bruno Mars himself has no involvement in the lawsuit. Miley’s team hasn’t commented on the situation yet.
