Miley Cyrus is being sued for copyright infringement over her 2023 song Flowers. She was hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit for allegedly copying Bruno Mars earlier hit When I Was Your Man, which was released in 2013. However, it's not Mars suing Cyrus, but rather Tempo Music Investments. In the lawsuit, Tempo Music accused Cyrus of intentionally copying When I Was Your Man in Flowers due to the significant similarities between the two songs. The investment company claims that Flowers features a similar melody and harmonies to the earlier song, both in the verses and in the chorus. It alleges that the chord progressions used on Cyrus' tune — which she is credited for writing with Aldae (real name: Gregory Hein) and Michael Pollack — are similar to progressions on Mars' song, and it also claims that some of the song's lyrics are similar to those on When I Was Your Man, which was written by Mars with Philip Lawrence, Ari Levin and Andrew Wyatt. The investment firm is requesting damages from Cyrus, though it's unclear if it has specified a requested amount yet. They’re also requesting that she and her label be barred from distributing Flowers, which might entail removing it from digital and future physical versions of her 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation, and the firm is also requesting that Cyrus be barred from ever again performing the popular song.
