A lawsuit alleging that Miley Cyrus's song "Flowers" infringes upon the copyright of Bruno Mars's "When I Was Your Man" should proceed to trial, according to the accusers. Cyrus had sought to dismiss the case, but her counterparts contend that the legal merits of the claim warrant a full examination. The phrase "Where there's smoke, there's fire" was invoked by the accusers in their argument. Originally reported by Billboard.
