Pop star Miley Cyrus faced a setback in a California federal court where her dismissal bid against a lawsuit alleging copyright infringement by new hit single 'Flowers' was rejected. The lawsuit, filed by Tempo Music Investments, claims that 'Flowers' unlawfully copies elements from Bruno Mars' 'When I Was Your Man.' The judge ruled that Tempo, having acquired a share of the original song's rights, could legally pursue the case. Cyrus's team argued that Tempo lacked the standing under copyright law, but the court disagreed, with Tempo expressing confidence in its chances.
