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.

A federal judge has challenged Miley Cyrus' attempt to dismiss the lawsuit over her hit single 'Flowers' in the latest court hearing. Tempo Music Investments filed a lawsuit against Cyrus in September 2024 over allegations that the song resembles Bruno Mar’s 2012 hit single ‘When I Was Your Man.

Yesterday’s hearing (March 10) for that filing does not appear to have gone Cyrus’ way. According to Rolling Stone, the presiding judge, U.S. District Judge Dean D. Pregerson, is leaning toward rejecting Cyrus’ motion.
