Miley Cyrus Sued for Allegedly Copying Bruno Mars' Song in Grammy-Winning 'Flowers'

Lawsuit claims Cyrus' hit song shares striking similarities with Mars' 2013 track 'When I Was Your Man,' seeking damages and performance ban.

Tempo Music Investments filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles, claiming 'Flowers' duplicates numerous elements from 'When I Was Your Man.'
Bruno Mars is not named as a plaintiff in the suit, which targets Cyrus, her co-writers, and multiple music companies including Sony Music and Apple.
The lawsuit alleges that 'Flowers' shares melodic, harmonic, and lyrical similarities with Mars' song, including specific chord progressions and thematic lyrics.
Tempo Music Investments seeks unspecified monetary damages and a court order to stop the reproduction, distribution, and public performance of 'Flowers.'
Cyrus' 'Flowers' became a massive hit, earning her first Grammy awards and breaking records on the Billboard Hot 100 and Spotify.
