Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers' seems to reference Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man,” but does not sample or interpolate any melodic elements from the song.

whether Mars or “Your Man” co-writers Andrew Wyatt, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine deserve writing credits on “Flowers.” To a degree, this sort of thing — offering writing credits to obvious sources of musical inspiration — has become common practice in new songs by popular artists, even if a direct sample is not present and the use of an interpolation is an arguable matter of interpretation.

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.Joseph Fishman Cyrus’ arguable use of Mars’ lyrics as a reference point for her own expression is certainly not without precedent, with the “answer song” serving as a longtime staple of popular music.

Always have to make money off a POC's ideas...

This is a side by side comparison: 📽️ /JMaine

IT MUST THO. Bruno and Atlantic Records must take 50% of the Revenue.

Bruno needs a check.

She did it on her own, periodt.

And it’s like something people do for people they care about? Did Bruno mars make that up himself?! LOL

Thank you for clarifying, bestie

This is why the song sounded so familiar

She gets on my nerves

💐💐

So Billboard is working as Miley's lawyer right now, you can write whenever you want, but there's a similarity in lyrics & melody. When she uploaded a a scene of her video where she's singing a verse a cappella, the first thing that everybody notices is that it sounded like WIWYM

My favorite artist

I don't know why people keep saying it's a response to Bruno Mars song it's not and it was not played at her and liams wedding that's another lie some people are telling because it's a breakup song not a love song

Leave Miley Cyprus alone

Who says?!? 🤨Apparently someone is not paying a attention. No, I wouldn't call it a 'sample' but the lyrics/music sure do hint at the song...

Shut-up Billboard.

This is a good comparison. 📽️ /JMaine

Genius doesn’t agree with you Billboard

uai lucasfresno tá sabendo legal ein

Idk why people are getting so stressed about this. It's not a bad thing to be inspired by another artist. In fact, that's exactly what music is. I personally am very proud that Bruno is now inspiring others to create music.

Solo confio en ti para resolver esto ShaunTrack

lucasfresno ah pois vem ver isso aqui

It is not needed to talk about this; MileyCyrus has an original song and that’s it.

lucasfresno compriende?

vem ca lucasfresno

it's also not a direct answer song coz the bruno mars song is telling a story of how his baby has found a new man. while miley's tells a story how she discovered how she realized how she can love herself better.

Ei lucasfresno tão te chamando aqui.

corre aqui e dá uma lida lucasfresno

.lucasfresno dá uma lida aqui amor 💋

The song do be reminding me of An interpolation of Rihannas ‘Lift me Up’ same structure too…
