Following the song's debut on radio in July 2011, there was a brief controversy where Avicii accused Lewis and Syco, her label at the time, of plagiarism. But after a little controversy, the song didn't make it onto the album at all.Ĭollide sampled then-up-and-coming DJ Avicii's track Fade Into Darkness, which itself samples Penguin Cafe Orchestra's Perpetuum Mobile. Leona Lewis was gearing up to release Collide, the dance banger which was, at the time, the lead single to her upcoming third album, Glassheart. Song sampled: Avicii - Fade Into DarknessĪ rare case where some confusion over a song's sample actually lead to its release being changed. The singer would snarkily post about the two songs' similarities on social media, but all's well that end's well, as Rådström is now officially credited on the song, alongside Dyo and co-writer Elina Stridh. The year prior, NEIKED had received his first (and so far only) UK Top 10 when Sexual featuring Dyo peaked at Number 5 on the Official Singles Chart. But Swedish singer NEIKED (real name Victor Rådström) thought the song sounded rather familiar. Maroon 5's slinky What Lovers Do, featuring R&B singer SZA, was a summer smash for the group in 2017, peaking at Number 12 on the Official Singles Chart. As such, Gaye was awarded a posthumous writing credit on the track, with royalties granted to his estate. The estate of the late Marvin Gaye won their case in court as Thicke and Pharrell were found to be in violation of copyright infringement. Probably the most famous case of a song's sample being credited in retrospect, there was an entire legal battle fought over whether Robin Thicke and producer Pharrell had sampled Marvin Gaye's classic Got To Give It Up for the controversial Number 1 hit Blurred Lines, which also featured rapper TI. Song sampled: Marvin Gaye - Got To Give It Up MORE: Poppelgangers - songs that sound a bit like other songs Robin Thicke feat. While Shape of You was originally dropped with just Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid and producer Steve Mac listed as writers, two months after its release the credits were changed to include No Scrubs scribes Kandi Burruss, Tameka Cottle and Kevin "She'kespere" Briggs. The something, it turned out, was the melody to TLC's iconic No Scrubs. When Ed Sheeran first released Shape Of You - the blockbuster lead single from his third album ÷ - fans thought they were hearing something familiar. Taylor and Antonoff also share credits on another song from Sour album track 1 step forward, 2 steps back, which directly samples Reputation's closing ballad New Years Day. Neither Olivia nor Taylor or her co-writers have commented on the news. Olivia herself openly stated to Rolling Stone that her heavily vocodered vocals in the bridge and outro to Deja Vu (which peaked at Number 4 on the Official Singles Chart) were inspired by a similar technique used in Cruel Summer (which hit Number 27 upon Lover's release but was never officially released as a single). Vincent (who wrote Cruel Summer, the perky second track of 2019's Lover) is interesting. So the retrospective addition of Taylor and co-writers Jack Antonoff and St. Olivia Rodrigo has made no secret that she's a massive Taylor Swift fan. Song sampled: Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer With this in mind, we've listed below some more instances where popular songs have credited samples from earlier hits in retrospect. Vincent as co-writers, due to a (self-confirmed inspired) nod to Taylor's fan favourite track Cruel Summer, so similar in fact that the trio are now being credited post-release. Rolling Stone has reported that Olivia Rodrigo's Deja Vu now lists Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff and St. But sometimes the influence on a song can be a tricky thing.
