Tempo Music Investments, which claims to hold a share of the copyright to Mars' song, filed the lawsuit against Miley Cyrus. They allege that 'Flowers' features a similar melody, harmony, and chord progressions to 'When I Was Your Man.' They argue that it is undeniable that 'Flowers' would not exist without 'When I Was Your Man,' directly pointing out the similarities in composition that form the crux of their complaint.
The company is not only seeking damages but also seeking to bar Cyrus from performing 'Flowers' or distributing the song in the future. This indicates the seriousness of the allegations and suggests that they believe the similarities are particularly egregious. By attempting to restrict her ability to perform and distribute the song, it amplifies their claim of copyright infringement.
