Miley Cyrus Sued for Copyright Infringement Over ‘Flowers,’ Accused of Copying Bruno Mars Song

Did Miley Cyrus copy a Bruno Mars song for her hit “Flowers?” According to TMZ, the 31-year-old singer is being sued for copyright infringement by Tempo Music Investments, a portfolio company that claims to own a share of the copyright for Bruno Mars’ hit, “When I Was Your Man.” The lyrics of the respective tracks reveal similarities: Mars opens the chorus with, “I should’ve bought you flowers and held your hand” while Cyrus sings “I can buy myself flowers / Write my name in the sand.” In the lawsuit reviewed by TMZ, Tempo Music reportedly claims that there are several musical similarities in melody, harmony, and chorus between the two songs and accuses the former Hannah Montana star of “intentionally copying” the 24K Magic hitmaker.
