River 101,208 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago The case of “Flowers” and “When I Was Your Man” is a little different, though. Those previously mentioned examples were mostly based around sonic similarities — melodic, rhythmic and textural — which were close enough in nature that a case could have been made that the original’s copyright was infringed upon. However, not only are there no direct samples or obvious interpolations between “Flowers” and “Your Man,” there are no major sonic overlaps either — no obvious shared melodies or rhythms, no major similarities in production textures. When Cyrus sings “I can buy myself flowers,” for instance, she does so in a cadence and melody of her own, without any significant similarity to how Mars sang “I should’ve bought you flowers.” The only obvious similarities, then, are in the songs’ lyrics — which are not identical, but do share elements and ideas — and merely using some of the same words as an older song is not considered grounds for infringement. https://www.billboard.com/pro/miley-cyrus-flowers-credit-bruno-mars-writer-credit/ They have no case basically, just imagine all the rappers suing each other for the answer songs lol I'm working late, cause I'm a puta Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s not really an actual melody if you know what I mean, it’s been used a million times already, it’s like the two most basic notes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchwineLove 1,369 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 4 hours ago, DelusionalGaga said: But Flowers doesn't even sample or interpolate When I Was Your Man, right? She basically just references the lyrics aka kinda "sings about" this other song, no? I really don't see how this could be seen as a copy? The Flowers chorus melody kinda interpolates the beginning verse of If I Was Your Man, which actually a very general melody. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not part of the composition team. It is an investment company that buys catalogs from artists/songwriters. They own a portion of copyrights to “When I Was Your Man” after acquiring it from Philip Lawrence, who co-wrote the song with Mars. i ❤️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that explains why Gaga ended up being named first in song and has it on her youtube accoubt even tho the song was his idea and Bruno Mars has more sing time than Gaga which always seemed odd to me Maybe she agreed to have him receive more royalties from the song in exchange for a bigger lead on paper Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMonster98 6,894 Posted 30 minutes ago Share Posted 30 minutes ago (edited) There is absolutely a similarity melodically in the chorus, lets be serious Flowers literally wouldnt exist without Bruno's track Edited 23 minutes ago by RickMonster98 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They recently fired their CEO and announced a new one in August. So it is possible that it had to be released by Interscope. Bruno has 40%, James Fauntleroy 20% and Gaga, D'Mile and Andrew Watt remaining 40% of songwriter's share of publishing. i ❤️ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
