Who did SM probably buy a song off of for F(x)'s album?

[greeds.livejournal.com]

If you listen to F(x)'s '여우 같은 내 친구 (No More)' snippet(starts at around 1:01), and Ariana Grande's 'Boyfriend Material', particularly the chorus which starts at 43 seconds in the video below, the two sound very alike!

No article to go with this, I just happened to see a comment on tumblr and thought I'd share. Sorry if it's not proper news/post mods! feel free to reject :)

Idegaf i love Ariana Grande

[uniqlos.livejournal.com]

sme should buy liberty-x's holding on for you and make it a song on an snsd album lol, i love that song. also girls aloud's biology, just so korea can lose it's shit again like they did when igab came out lulz.

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

Well the beginning of "Lonely" by Spica sounds similar to "Can't Speak French" so GA sorta has been in kpop.

I don't think there would be as much ish for a Biology remake caz it doesn't really change as much as IGAB does. IGAB is like 4 songs together while Biology is like 2 songs, plus it flows better on the 1st listen. At least to me it does.

[levelgrind.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sounds like they're probably the same song. Pretty common practice for SMent, though.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

are they saying 'gizibe'??

[921227.livejournal.com]

Yep -- "yeo gatteun gizibe"

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Uhhh scraps from the debut album they're working on that's supposed to drop end of august?
Idk much about her beyond her music but Ariana grande can sing no doubt.

[my-car-is-prada.livejournal.com]

Oooh I am so feeling this song and it is feeling me! I hope f(x)'s song will sound like that.

[pinkwingsblack.livejournal.com]

... i don't hear it. :\ i'd need an actual side by side comparison.
but idgaf anyways. nothing new with SM if it were the case.

[mongs.livejournal.com]

i hear it. but i love both fx and ariana grande so not even gonna question and just jam lol

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

the background is familiar, like the first notes of "stand by me"

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

well it makes sense

kpop idols are basically the korean equivalents of disney/nickelodeon stars

[921227.livejournal.com]

Ha, that's the comparison I make when people ask me what's kpop like

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

i'd be surprised if they didnt have a track that was a 'remake'. that's un-sm of them.

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

they don't sound similar, they sound exactly the same lol. & I don't hate Ariana's so I'm excited for F(x)'s version.

[mesutry.livejournal.com]

I don't like her, but I like her music...
That's all.

Not to mention Shadow

Re: Not to mention Shadow

[nuravecunt.livejournal.com]

Wow, I actually like this version. i cant wait to hear Shadow in its entirety now.

Re: Not to mention Shadow

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Yep it sounds like a perfect F(x) song

Re: Not to mention Shadow

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

interesting. shadow is a song by sophie ellis bextor and some other people. but they called it ridiculous.

Re: Not to mention Shadow

[izon-no-niwa.livejournal.com]

been on repeat since i found this song ♥
"how many licks til i get to the center of it yeah" win

Re: Not to mention Shadow

[awsteven.livejournal.com]

omg thank u! i've been looking for songs with a similar sound forever now! repeating this forever till f(x)'s version comes out

Re: Not to mention Shadow

[le-beau-soleil.livejournal.com]

Video's gone now. :( I wanted to listen to the song again. Could you tell me the singer's name pls?

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

at least they're releasing it as a non-title track, unlike snsd and dancing queen ( i still can't believe they recycled a song they had lying around for 5 years instead of letting them perform another one before IGAB)

[dubukat.livejournal.com]

I think I'm lucky that I don't listen to any Western stuff much anymore, everything is new! hahaha

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

it wouldnt be SM if there were bought tracks tbh

[monster-mutt.livejournal.com]

Welp, I would never have known bc I don't listen to Ariana Grande lol.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

i liked no more when i heard it in the highlight medly and liked it even more when luna and someone else sang it in go f(x). really excited to hear the full version.

[chibiyunie.livejournal.com]

I never actually listened to any music from Ariane Grande, all I know is that I find her so fucking annoying on that show VIctorious (my sister watches it all the time and every re-run of it over and over again). I know that is acting but she just annoys me so much.

My FX babies, I can't wait for the album to drop!
Rum Pum Pum Pum is actually really growing on me <3

[panna-pierogowa.livejournal.com]

Can we post here all bought songs or their english version?
for example:
http://www.safrimusic.com/nadine/i-can-have-you-video_a320f593b.html

original Mr.Boogie. Sometimes I wonder if that's english or what... But I kinda like it.

[kotetsu.livejournal.com]

I like the original Dangerous from their first album, http://youtu.be/E3dA3vhhHRA I like how it was more edgy sounding than f(x)'s which sounded like faux aegyo when they did the vocalization bits

[10135.livejournal.com]

Cool.

[punkylana.livejournal.com]

i love f(x)'s song, idc

[elowai.livejournal.com]

Well, the thing is her song is a steal from the song "Mercy" by Duffy. If you listen to the background, it is the same base as that song.

Also, Shadow is originally an English song called "Candy Man" by Liz Primo.

Why can't SM make their own music!? I mean "Hot Summer" (originally by Monrose), "Beautiful Goodbye" (originally by Kasey Butler), and "Pinocchio" (originally called "Razor" by Kristine Elezaj) were also songs bought and redid for f(x). There are a lot more too I am sure that I forgot to list.
