[GagaUnderYou 4,994]

I swear she mentioned this on fallon

Y'all are too much.

So many Steps fans say they hear a slight similarity but it's nothing major.

Maybe y'all should stop.

Mess it's the same thing

do you need me to get you an ear check up appointment?

Some of y’all are reaching. Other than the harmonizing and some of the melodies it’s really not that big a deal. Artists sample all the time. And I’m sure almost all of you including me had no idea that Steps was even a thing nor did you care before this. That being said she’s not copying. She was Born This Way.

I don't think so as it's just a chord progression but it's easy af to sue in america right? so idk

NTLTC sounds as much like this as Born this Way sounds like express yourself  & as any Gaga fan would say, it's not that big a deal

Max Martin at it again...

Got me there sis. I do. But had no idea who sang it.

[ryanripley 86,575]

okay but let's not pretend like Bad Romance doesn't have a huge sample

[Bloody hooker 6,445]

They both are in the same key, have the same chord progression, and have similar rhythms. However, there are only so many rhythms and chords progressions in music. She still could give them credit if she wanted, but she doesn’t have too.

I wouldn’t call this plagiarizing.
