Miley Cyrus' "Flowers" was hit with a copyright lawsuit in 2024 over Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man," and the judge handling the case is unlikely to dismiss it. Billboard took to the streets to gather public opinion about the lawsuit.

Miley Cyrus’ bid to dismiss ‘Flowers’ copyright infringement lawsuit got pushback from a judge who sided with the partial owner of a Bruno Mars song.

Miley Cyrus seems unlikely to immediately escape a copyright lawsuit claiming her hit “Flowers” infringed the Bruno Mars song “When I Was Your Man.”
