Without Bruno, this song wouldn’t even exist. 
 

 

Inspiration =/= giving credit

 

No she shouldn't.

No, he didn't invent those words - and she didn't copy, it's more of a reply. The melody is not similar enough to be a sample either.

It’s pretty obviously similar so he definitely has a case, if he even cares.

No, but Bruno Mars had to credit Trinidad James on one of his songs.

Yes. But knowing Bruno, he won't ask for it. He's very humble and kind.

Anyway who is saying NO is delusional, everybody can see the similarity in the melody and the lyrics, but Bruno isn't desperate and I don't think he really cares.

Literally, Beyonce gets DRAGGED for BARELY interpolating, AND crediting :rip:

 

 

LOL so Miley owes her song to Bruno Mars' lyricism AND Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" string arrangement.... 

 

and NAN ONE of them or their associated co-writers/producers is credited? :ace:

This is why B will always be above and beyond with her generous crediting.

I feel like if Bruno Mars bring this to the court, he’ll win :deadbanana4:
 

But he’s a rich man and booked job left and right so he will just ignore it unlike Good 4 You case

Miley most likely already reached out to Bruno prior to releasing Flowers just like how she did with Stevie Nicks before releasing Midnight Sky.

this is more similar than good 4 you is to Misery Business so yes

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

That was clearly a mistake and the writers of Misery Business might have had trouble winning if it ever went to court.

You'll notice that Olivia got rid of the management team that was advising her in 2021.

 

You don't get a credit for inspiration.

You're right inspiration shouldn't get credit but the thing is even with more pronounced similarities, Miley doesn't get as much internet rage Olivia got with good 4 you and Bruno is cool with it too so she never really have to give credit

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

 

 

A few artists could learn a thing or two from Miss Bruno :clap3:

People have tried to do mash ups of the songs and you literally have to change Flowers structure in order to make the mash up successful. And on top of that, the songs are completely different genres. She uses an interpolation of the song, but doesn’t straight up copy it. And I’m basically certain they would have run it past Bruno and his team to see whether or not he wanted to be credited, Miley would have made that happen. 

 

Meanwhile Misery Business and Good 4 U is literally chord by chord identical.
