It doesn't have to be malicious either. Someone could have heard the melody, forgot about it, and then just the melody remained while they were in creative writing sessions. It happens. It's not exactly ground breaking stuff here though both songs are kinda basic. Levitating is for sure just a basic pop bop and the other song sounds like Chic/Nile Rodgers' style with a rasta man singing. It's like copying someone's recipe for buttered toast. You're not the first to do it, just let it go tbh. You're stinky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those at least make a little sense. holy phucc the way my heart skipped a beat when i got the notification i legit thot i was getting "motivated" to behave lmaoo i will chill from now on oops xoxo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenWonder 4,377 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I seriously doubt Dua's team purposely ripped anyone off. But the choruses are the basically the same. My guess is that Dua will have to pay up, much like Sam Smith had to do the same to Tom Petty. It's not really a big deal. Songs sound the same all the time by accident. But the rules say that the song that comes first gets precedence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that it has 1060 plays. “soundcloud with 80k+ listens” is wildly misleading because likely 79,9k of those came after the Dua news broke. The first comment is from 20 hours ago. Meaning the song had been on SoundCloud for 5 years and could get one (1) comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyMetal Halcyon 1,737 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Okay, Just because two songs SOUND identical to each other, doesn't mean that they will win this lawsuit. They have to justify that Dua or her team intentionally stole the melody, which I don't think happened. This episode breaks down how the song was developed, and provides literally ALL the evidence that this reggae band is full of BS. They built the instrumental off a synth from TOKYO, and then they wrote the song off the top of it. I understand where this reggae band is coming from... but I think both songs were written completely individually. Also: Why did they wait until March 1st to file this lawsuit.... the song has been EVERYWHERE since 2020. They had 2 years to file it.... seems sketchy Chromatica Forever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members are using it as an excuse to exhibit their toxicity towards a hard working successful female pop star. It's 7 pages already of users repeating the same thing over and over.
