Miley Cyrus<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 \u201cFlowers\u201d was the pop hit of 2023. The song won the Disney Channel alum her first Grammy Award, and it popped off on the charts. But many speculated<\/a> whether or not the single was partially inspired<\/a> by another famous one: Bruno Mars<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 \u201cWhen I Was Your Man.\u201d Although neither Miley nor Bruno has commented on the rumors, the \u201cWrecking Ball\u201d hitmaker was just hit with a lawsuit, which accused her of copying his song.<\/p>\n

Is Bruno Mars Suing Miley Cyrus?<\/h2>\n

Although the lawsuit pertains to his song, Bruno was not named in the court documents, according to multiple outlets<\/a>. Tempo Music Investments owns a copyright share of \u201cWhen I Was Your Man\u201d and claimed that there are \u201cstriking similarities\u201d between that song and Miley\u2019s \u201cFlowers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, which was filed in in a Los Angeles court on Monday, September 16, also accuses multiple companies of distributing \u201cFlowers,\u201d including Sony Music Publishing, Apple, Target and Walmart.<\/p>\n

Miley is being sued for alleged copyright, according to Temple Music Investments\u2019 lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is undeniable based on the combination and number of similarities between the two recordings that \u2018Flowers\u2019 would not exist without \u2018When I Was Your Man,\u2019\u201d the court documents read, per Us Weekly<\/em><\/a>. \u201cAccordingly, Plaintiff brings this action for copyright infringement arising out of Defendants\u2019 unauthorized reproduction, distribution and exploitation of \u2018When I Was Your Man.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court documents further claimed that Miley\u2019s song\u00a0\u201cduplicates numerous melodic, harmonic, and lyrical elements\u201d of Bruno\u2019s hit track.<\/p>\n

The two songs have been compared to one another ever since \u201cFlowers\u201d was released in 2023. Though they don\u2019t sound similar in tempo or sound, fans pointed out that the lyrics are somewhat similar.<\/p>\n

In the chorus of \u201cFlowers,\u201d Miley sings, \u201cI can buy myself flowers \/ Write my name in the sand \/ Talk to myself for hours \/ See things you don\u2019t understand \/ I can take myself dancing \/ And I can hold my own hand \/ Yeah, I can love me better than you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

In \u201cWhen I Was Your Man,\u201d Bruno begins the chorus by singing, \u201cThat I should\u2019ve bought you flowers \/ And held your hand \/ Should\u2019ve gave you all my hours \/ When I had the chance \/ Take you to every party \/ \u2018Cause all you wanted to do was dance \/ Now my baby\u2019s dancing \/ But she\u2019s dancing with another man.\u201d<\/p>\n

In terms of their respective messages, both songs are a stark contrast to one other. Bruno\u2019s track is remorseful, as he watches a former partner move on with a new man, while Miley\u2019s song is a self-empowering tune that pays tribute to embracing the single life.<\/p>\n

Neither Miley nor Bruno has publicly commented on the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
