One thing I never understand is why does it take so long for people/bands to sue for copyright infringement. The song's been around for two years and spent most of last year in the Top 10. Did they just notice the song last month? I think it's pretty obvious that they will get more $$$ the bigger the song was, because the won't lose this case anyway.

alsemanche 93,886 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 This is a straight up copy wtf theres no way they weren't aware of the original song Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKOUTbritney 22,359 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Queen tingz I honestly think it’s just a coincidence. Levitating is one of the more basic songs on the acclaimed Future Nostalgia. Very Jamiroquai esque too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micmaky 917 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Out of every single recent hit song that’s been accused of plagiarism, this is by far the most plagiarised one of all. Are people deaf, it’s a literal copy down to the lyrics, the melody and the guitars. It’s not some key change similarities, it’s blatant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when it was Madonna accusing Gaga, you all rushed to Gaga’s defense. Not at all saying BTW is a rip off, but Madonna definitely had more to cite in her criticism than these guys do for Dua. It’s just hypocritical. you might need to see an ear doctor cus how can you be this confidently wrong? mother, what must i do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHALLOW 16,425 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 This song is such a bop but it's kinda cursed at this point Also i don't think we should blame Dua. It was probably the producer's fault Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just hypocritical. Madonna herself only talked about the chord progression being similar. Here it goes way further since it's the melody being basically the same at points among other things. There's a reason if folks defended Gaga but would defend this band here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruelty 6,172 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 For what it's worth, Dua's account of creating Levitating is here: https://songexploder.net/dua-lipa (podcast) / http://songexploder.net/transcripts/dua-lipa-transcript.pdf (transcript) Actually, I can believe that it's a coincidence, but I also think she'll end up giving them writing credits.
