Netizens alleging Sunmi's "Heart Burn" plagiarizes Avril Lavigne song "I Don't Give".

Recently, posts about the alleged similarity between the two tracks are spreading on online communities. Netizens compared Sunmi's new track to Avril Lavgine's 2002 song "I Don't Give," claiming they sound similar in the melody of the introduction and design of the chorus.

Netizens criticized, "It's interesting that this isn't more of a controversy," "They're more similar than different," "It's a common chord progression, but this is unreasonably similar," "This is plagiarism," and more.

Can you hear a similarity?

I haven’t listened to sunmi’s song before now. I agree. I’d say it’s a bit too similar to just be a coincidence.
