Lady Gaga’s latest song Sour Candy from Chromatica album hit the web world yesterday and ranked at the popularity charts immediately. The song which marks Lady Gaga’s collaboration with BLACKPINK became the talk of social media soon and so many people were raving about it.
However, soon netizens started finding similarities between Sour Candy and Katy Perry’s 2017 number Swish Swish. It seemed to many that Lady Gaga has copied the Fireworks singer. Have a look at some of the reactions:
Katy Perry got the beat of Swish Swish from an old dance techno song. Lady Gaga’s concept for her new album is old dance techno. All those songs from that era have the same vibe and similar beat. They’re not the same song. They’re both great songs though.
When I see Gagarians (Lady Gaga’s fans) and Katyarians (Katy Perry fans) fighting over “Sour Candy” sounding like “Swish Swish”.#SourCandypic.twitter.com/LwVQZUV2lK
Is it just me or does the beat in Lady Gaga's Sour Candy remind you of Katy Perry's Swish Swish? Not coming for Gaga. Love her. Just keep accidentally singing "Swish Swish Bish" lol.

However, it turns out that no one is a copy cat here. It’s just that both singers have sampled one song i.e. What They Say by Maya Jane Coles. According to Evening Standard, the Maya Jane Coles’ song has been reworked by numerous stars over the years.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga talked about her collaboration with BLACKPINK for the song Sour Candy with Japanese Publication, TV Groove. As translated to English by a fellow BLINK named @intoblackpivk on Twitter, Lady Gaga shared that they were really happy and motivated when I called and asked them for collaboration. Calling it an exciting collaboration, Lady Gaga said that she wanted to celebrate them because she loves powerful women and the feeling was mutual.
