Should Bruno Mars get writing credits on Flowers?

Recommended Posts

The chorus is a response to Bruno Mars "When I Was Your Man" 

 

Do you think Bruno Mars deserves writing credits for this? 

 

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance

 

I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand

I literally thought she interpolated the melody before I even realized the lyrics were in response to it. They sound so similar. I say yes OOP :deadbanana2:

Melodically, the chorus in 'Flowers' is similar to the verses in 'When I Was Your Man'. That stood out to me more on first listen than the lyric response.

Paramore got a credit for good 4 you then I say yes. There's more obvious similarities between Flowers and WIWYM melodically and lyrically than good 4 you and MB

I just checked there are three writers in this song and Miley is one of them and the first name. Why isn't she getting dragged for changing 'he' to 'I' and 'you' to 'myself'?

 

OT: Tbh, I think she should.

Without Bruno, this song wouldn’t even exist.

He deserves credits because literally everyone can hear the Bruno interpolation in that hook

 

Bruno doesn't seem to care though if this tweet is true

He should but Bruno isn’t worried or petty, it won’t make him stay up past midnight over it.
