This lawsuit is bullshit and needs to be thrown out. There is only the tiniest of similarities and it comes down to a synth.

A better explanation

oh please, they straight up lifted the sample and slowed it down. this is dr rape's MO and he's been dragged to court for this multiple times. this is not the hill you want to die on.

I’m not defending Dr Like, he can get hit by a bus tomorrow and I’m throwing a fucking party.

I’m defending Katy. She didn’t steal shit. It’s all Luke and Max Martin.

So bye. ✌🏼

no where did i say that she's responsible for it. your original comment questions the merits of the lawsuit and whether the the song are alike, which they obviously are since they lifted the sample from the original track and slowed it down. digging for random armchair musicologist's differing opinion, who btw is so far off the mark he's comparing lyrics and melody to drive his point home, is not going to change that fact.
