Miley Cyrus is facing a potential wrecking ball: a copyright infringement lawsuit regarding her Grammy-winning song, “Flowers.”

Miley Cyrus is facing a potential wrecking ball: a copyright infringement lawsuit regarding her Grammy-winning song, “Flowers.”

Cyrus, 31, was sued in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on Monday, with a lawsuit accusing her and her fellow “Flowers” songwriters of copying portions of the 2013 Bruno Mars song, “When I Was Your Man.”

Tempo Music Investments, which said it owns a portion of the copyright of “When I Was Your Man” after acquiring it from one of the song’s writers, Philip Lawrence, brought the suit over the defendants’ alleged “unauthorized reproduction, distribution, and exploitation” of the song.

Lawrence co-wrote “When I Was Your Man” with Mars, Ari Levine, and Andrew Wyatt.

Mars is not named as a plaintiff in the suit, and a representative for the singer did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News.
