Some netizens have even gone ahead to upload comparison videos of the two songs to further emphasize the similarities between the two songs.


Hearing about the brewing accusations, many voiced differing opinions. Some say the melodies are way too similar to be coincidental. However, others say at this point in time, it's hard to find a song that is 100% unique and just because there are similarities between songs does not mean it's plagiarism.
