Miley Cyrus is currently embroiled in a copyright dispute over her chart-topping song “Flowers,” which is being accused of plagiarizing elements from Bruno Mars’ hit “When I Was Your Man.” The lawsuit, filed by Tempo Music Investments, alleges that “Flowers” copied significant musical elements from Mars’ track.
However, Cyrus’ legal team has strongly denied these allegations, arguing that any similarities are based on unprotected, generic musical ideas that are not exclusive to Mars’ song. In their motion to dismiss the lawsuit, Cyrus’ team points out that Tempo Music does not hold full ownership of “When I Was Your Man,” making their claim legally invalid.
This legal battle highlights the importance of understanding copyright law, especially for artists navigating the complexities of intellectual property in the modern music industry.
