In a recent interview with a Belgian radio station, Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix responded to the accusations by saying, “every song is going to have a similar chord sequence, slightly similar lyrics and melodies. It happens all the time. It doesn’t mean that they’re not both incredible songs.”
Thirlwall elaborated by adding, ““I think maybe because it was a girl band as well. I just think people like to have something negative to say.”
