Archetype Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Honestly, yes. I have grown to really like this song, but even I get confused and accidentally hum Robyn's chorus after Ari's verses, or Ari's chorus after Robyn's verses interchangeably. It's very blatant to me, one of the few times I have ever said this about two songs that sound alike. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jude Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Guys, Robyn wrote that song. Put some respect on her name. I don't really hear the similarities in terms of the melody but the production is definitely similar but then again that has been used in many songs since Robyn released it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay07 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I don't know... usually I would say you can't sue for similar production but since the Blurred Lines case it's been so fuzzy. Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendulum Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Well, Max Martin produced it. And knowing the beef between him and Robyn, it maaaaay not be a stretch to suggest he would do that. He himself has admitted that pop girls go into studio requesting for the Robyn sound. @16:33 Edited March 19 by Pendulum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariananext Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Robyn only? Also the owner of the building where the song was recorded, his mother, the baker in front of the studio and the dog that walks on that street every day whose barking you can hear at minute 0:39 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Willy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I think so. I'm a fan of Ariana since 2018 but the song is almost a blatant ripoff. And it's NOT just the "standard snyth-pop production", because there are plenty of songs in the new wave/80s synthpop genre that share common elements but still sound different. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She played some tracks off Honey for him before release, and she worked with him on one song for Body Talk. I guess they met around 2017-2018 since that would coincide with the things she has said in an inteview for The Guardian, according to the video I had linked. Definitely give it a watch cause it summarises the whole ordeal and Robyn's story in general is very intriguing. But their encounter must've been very passive-aggressive. Basically Robyn was scouted to be trained for pop stardom at 15 or whatever and she got paired with Max Martin to produce her debut album in 1995. That was all in Sweden and Max Martin was relatively unknown outside of the country. I guess she was burntout and just not happy with the music they were making her to perform and by her third album (Don't Stop The Music) in 2002, which was also produced by Max Martin, she dropped out of the major label she was assigned to, went on to open her own Konnichiwa Records and the rest is history. Britney Spears was literally the American version of Robyn Max Martin was trying to create after the two had a falling out.

I always thought her frustration was with the label itself after they canned Who's That Girl, which turned out to kick off her far more artistically successful indie career. But I can see how that would rub a lot of people the wrong way. Queen moves. Sidenote, Don't Stop the Music is super underrated.

Blue Monday Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Why would someone who was not in any way involved with the creation of a song get a credit because there's slight similarities in sound? This is such a low bar Plenty of songs vaguely sound like other songs, there's only so many notes, chords, etc. in the world of music. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
