    Miley Cyrus was sued for copyright infringement after allegedly copying Bruno Mars in the creation of her Grammy-winning hit, “Flowers.”

    Per documents obtained by TMZ , Tempo Music Investments claims Cyrus’ 2023 smash single shares “many musical similarities” to Mars’ 2012 ballad “When I Was Your Man.”

    The investment platform — which claims to own a share of the copyright for Mars’ track — alleges that the chorus, harmony, melody, chord progressions and lyrics of “Flowers” were “intentionally” taken from the “24K Magic” hitmaker’s song.

    Mars, however, is not named as a plaintiff in the filing.

    Reps for Mars, 38, and Cyrus, 31, did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

    Earlier this year, the “Malibu” songstress received her first Grammys after “Flowers” won record of the year and best pop solo performance over Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish .

    “This award is amazing, but I really hope that it doesn’t change anything, because my life was beautiful yesterday,” Cyrus said during her record of the year acceptance speech.

    Cyrus, who has been in the music industry for decades, later questioned why it took so long to earn recognition from the Recording Academy.

    “No shade, but I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and this is my first time actually being taken seriously at the Grammys?” she said in an interview with W Magazine in June.

    “I’ve had a hard time figuring out what the measurement is there, because if we want to talk stats and numbers, then where the f–k was I? And if you want to talk, like, impact on culture, then where the f–k was I?”

    However, the pop star clarified, “This is not about arrogance. I am proud of myself.”

    Cyrus got her start in the industry at 12 years old, starring in Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana” from 2006 to 2011.

    The singer then began topping the charts with hits such as “Party in the U.S.A.” and “Wrecking Ball.”
