What was the story with that by the way? I mean it’s not a sampling it’s straight up the entirety of the other song with new lyrics. Did she get permission? Was there a lawsuit? I never heard.
Gotye sampled it to begin with, so he couldn’t sue. He couldn’t even make money off the original song for that reason, but he seems pretty chill about stuff like that.
Based on other comments, it sounds like Doechii wasn’t trying to release Anxiety as its own song and just made it for fun, and then her fans kept requesting she record a real version of it.
So the story is that some people’s hobby is just to hate things.
Gotye sampled Seville but it’s definitely not the entirety of the song, the first part of Seville was wholesale copied and the rest taken heavy inspiration from.
You can absolutely hear that Somebody that i used to know is based on Seville, but you can also hear that they’re clearly distinct songs.
