The bonus song "23" from IU's latest album 'Chat-shire' is making headlines. Allegedly, the track is using sampling from Britney Spears' hit song "Gimme More" without permission.
Listeners have noticed that the part in IU's song that says "keep on rocking" sounds like Britney Spears. Loen Entertainment commented, "We were notified of this issue over the weekend. The producer who arranged the song used a sample from voice samples he previously purchased. We have contacted Britney Spears' agency to confirm whether it's her voice as the producer was unsure."
The agency concluded, "We will make an announcement after we find out the results. We apologize for not having a more careful album creation process and worrying fans. Thank you for bringing this to our attention."
