If the hook in Ariana Grande's hit song, "One Last Time," sounds familiar that's because she jacked it from a song that came out 2 years earlier ... according to a new lawsuit.
Songwriter Alex Greggs says he wrote, and holds the copyright on the 2012 tune, "Takes All Night" ... an EDM track for Skye Stevens. In the suit, Greggs says Ariana and David Guetta -- who produced "One Last Time" -- duplicated the most memorable part of his song ... the chorus!
The "takes all night" part is similar, but that's it – the rest of the chorus and the song has no similarity. You can't sue because she belts three words the same way.
The instrumental sounded coincidental, there's only so many chords. But then the chorus came and it actually does have a very similar melody... I kind of her it. Idk why David Guetta would steal from this guy nobody's heard of but...

The first three notes of the song alone screamed plagiarism to me.

I mean, wasn't Night of Your Life (feat. Jennifer Hudson) a BLATANT ripoff of Rihanna's Only Girl (In the World)? He's always been a thief.
"If it sounds similar"... As if anyone knows that song. Second off, it doesn't even sound that similar. I know it's hard out here, but I'm done with these bitches trying to make a quick coin
even the melody
