[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Because it’s K-pop, we have another plagiarism accusation that’s gaining steam, this time TWICE‘s “Someone Like Me” being accused of copying Hailee Steinfeld‘s “Starving“.

JYP Entertainment stated on May 16, “We’re currently checking with the producer of ‘Starving’. We will make an announcement after confirmation.”

The guitar in the very beginning sounds like a higher pitched version of Haylee's song to me. But nothing else

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I can't really hear any other similarities apart from the guitar.

Oh I thought they sampled it... but that statement

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

I thought it was already confirmed they sampled it?

As soon as I heard it I was like yikes wonder if they'll get sued

It should be the law that you can't cry plagiarism if they did it better. XD (Joking, joking!)

i feel like its only the back music with the guitar that is similar ... but that's it... maybe i dont have a ear for that ...

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Lmao I find this ridiculous. They could be simply using the same sample (also it's a rather simple guitar loop...). But it's cool that JYP is checking with the producers! They're being cautious

from aj and he got it from akp.. they really didnt say much more

It sounds way too similar but that's it. Just that part. It's probably just the same sample or something.

Of all the hills to risk them dying on, even with a sample, .....Hailee Steinfeld featuring on a Zedd song?

If it were any other Zedd song, I'd get it. But this? Lol.
