Mess
Where do I start?
First, I love Little Mix but we gotta admit the chorus does sound similar to "Ugly Heart", which itself is an obvious derivative of Kesha's "Last Goodbye".
Anyway, the GRL girls didn't write a single word to that song, so it's not really up to them to be fustrated over a song sounding similar.
I could understand the writers of "Ugly Heart" being pissed off though. However, as Dr. Luke is being listed as one of the writers and producers of that song, I can hardly see how he would dare to sue Little Mix
Like, this guy (I'm not deyning his talent at all but) he recycled the same song over and over again, using the same beats of his own songs and sometimes blatlantly ripped off songs from other artists (Roar/Brave being the best example).
To quote him:
Quote:
"These days, anyone can put two songs up and make a mash-up by changing the key of this one and say, 'Oh, these songs are similar.' A lot of things are similar. But you don’t get sued for being similar. It needs to be the same thing. Almost doesn’t count. Close but no cigar. People are suing for close. There are standard chord progressions that everyone uses. There are plenty of songs that are really similar and they never sued each other. We are a very litigious society today. You can fall on the sidewalk and sue the city."
