Miley Cyrus Denied in Attempt to Dismiss Copyright Lawsuit Over ‘Flowers’


Miley Cyrus has been denied in her attempt to dismiss the copyright lawsuit over her hit 'Flowers,' clearing the path towards a trial.

A judge has denied Miley Cyrus’ request to dismiss the copyright lawsuit claiming that her 2023 smash “Flowers” was copying Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man.” Cyrus was initially sued in Sept. 2024 by Tempo Music Investments, a company that purchased the catalog rights of “When I Was Your Man” co-writer Philip Lawrence. Following its release in Jan. 2023, “Flowers” was a massive hit for Cyrus, spending eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and winning record of the year at the 2024 Grammys.
