Klou 2,414 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Sam Smith settled a case with Tom Petty due to Stay With Me sounding similar to I Won't Back Down. Stay With Me will now be co-credited to Tom Petty. Fun fact: Tom Petty could potentially be credited a Grammy win for Stay With Me this year if it wins Song and article link below. http://youtu.be/nvlTJrNJ5lA Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/26/sam-smith-tom-petty-royalties_n_6546892.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer 9,227 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 THAT'S where I've heard it before. I always thought that song sounded so familiar but I couldn't place it. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaMyBlood95 9,898 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The chorus is like the exact same, so I think this is fair... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALX 170 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 he didn't lose a case it was settled behind closed doors and Sam complied throughout the whole thing Tom Petty doesn't deserve a 12.5% writers credit when the song they used also ripped another artist and Petty didn't even write the lyrics. There's songs out that are significantly more similar that don't result in suits, this one is particularly ridiculous...like are they going to sue every single person who uses this melody from now on?

darkchylde 14,857 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't feel like they're similar? I mean the long note at the end of the chorus kinda sounds alike but... Edit: yet Roar remains unpunished... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Space 0 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Little bit oner verse nothing more, the time Roar copied Brave nobody has ever sayed a word, now one verse sounds a little bit similar with "Staaaa with me" world goes crazy, this just shows how caty can escape whatever she does.
