MILEY Cyrus is being sued for copyright infringement over her 2023 Grammy-winning hit Flowers. The pop star, 31, was named in a copyright infringement lawsuit for a allegedly copying Bruno Mars 2013 hit When I Was Your Man. But hitmaker Bruno, 38, is NOT suing Miley , but rather Tempo Music Investments, a company that claims to own a share of Bruno's track, reports TMZ .
They have accused the pop singer of "intentionally copying" Bruno's song When I Was Your Man in her female empowerment hit Flowers. The investment company claims that Flowers has a similar melody and harmonies in the verses and chorus to Bruno's hit. Plus it also says that the chord progression is similar to Bruno's song and alleges some of the song lyrics are similar to his track too, which was written by Mars with Philip Lawrence, Ari Levin and Andrew Wyatt.
In the documents, Tempo Music said the similarities of the songs “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." The investment firm is requesting damages from Miley, but it is not clear if a amount has been requested at this stage. It is also requesting that Miley is barred from ever performing Flowers again, along with barring her from distributing Flowers, which could mean removing the track from her 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation.
