According to the lawsuit, Miley Cyrus’ hit ‘would not exist’ without the Bruno Mars song it’s accused of ripping off<\/h2>\n

We all know that Miley Cyrus can buy herself flowers… but she may need to buy herself an attorney instead.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s because the ‘Wrecking Ball’ has been slapped with a lawsuit over her award-winning song ‘Flowers’ – accused of copying a Bruno Mars tune.<\/p>\n

Bruno Mars, whose real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, is not a plaintiff in the lawsuit, which has been filed by Tempo Music Investments, a company that owns a share of the copyright for Mars’ song ‘When I Was Your Man’.<\/p>\n

When the 31-year-old\u00a0Hannah Montana<\/em>\u00a0star released the song ‘Flowers’ in January last year, similarities were immediately drawn with Mars’ own hit single.<\/p>\n

Cyrus’ inspiration for the song came after her split with Liam Hemsworth, the\u00a0Australian<\/a>\u00a0actor known for his starring role in\u00a0The Hunger Games<\/em>\u00a0as Gale Hawthorne.<\/p>\n

The pair married in 2018 but just a year later they filed for divorce.<\/p>\n

According to TMZ, who have seen the lawsuit, Tempo Music has alleged that ‘Flowers’ is ‘intentionally copying’ ‘When I Was Your Man’.<\/p>\n

The investment company further alleged that the melody, harmony and chorus of Cyrus’ song is ‘substantially similar’ to the verse in Mars’ song.<\/p>\n

As per TMZ, the docs read: “It 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’.”<\/p>\n

Now, the company want Cyrus to be banned from performing ‘Flowers’ at her future concerts and hope she will not even be allowed to distribute the record that landed her a\u00a0Grammy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the Rolling Stone, who also obtained a copy of the lawsuit, stated that it read in part: \u201cAny fan of Bruno Mars\u2019 \u2018When I Was Your Man\u2019 knows that\u00a0Miley Cyrus<\/a>\u2019 \u2018Flowers\u2019 did not achieve all of that success on its own.<\/p>\n

“\u2018Flowers\u2019 duplicates numerous melodic, harmonic, and lyrical elements of \u2018When I Was Your Man,\u2019 including the melodic pitch design and sequence of the verse, the connecting bass-line, certain bars of the chorus, certain theatrical\u00a0music<\/a>\u00a0elements, lyric elements, and specific chord progressions.”<\/p>\n

To dive into the similarities, the chorus for 38-year-old Mars’ song goes: “I should have bought you flowers, and held your hand.<\/p>\n

“Should have gave you all my hours, when I had the chance.<\/p>\n

“Take you to every party ’cause all you wanted to do was dance.<\/p>\n

“Now my baby’s dancing, but she’s dancing with another man.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Cyrus’ lyrics are: “I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand.<\/p>\n

“Talk to myself for hours, say things you don’t understand.<\/p>\n

“I can take myself dancing, and I can hold my own hand.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I can love me better than you can.\u201d<\/p>\n
