flag Miley Cyrus’ lawyers seek to dismiss a copyright lawsuit over "Flowers," arguing the song is too different and transformative to infringe on Bruno Mars’ "When I Was Your Man."

flag Miley Cyrus’ legal team has filed a motion to dismiss a 2024 copyright lawsuit claiming her 2023 song “Flowers” infringed on Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man.” They argue the songs are not similar enough to constitute infringement, that any similarities fall under fair use, and that “Flowers” serves as a transformative commentary on Mars’ melancholic track, with an upbeat tone widely seen as a response. flag The team notes “Flowers” was released nearly a decade later and that streams of Mars’ song rose 20% after its release, indicating no market harm. flag They seek summary judgment to end the case without a trial.
