A $300 million lawsuit against Miley Cyrus over her song, “We Can’t Stop” will move forward after a judge ruled the plaintiff, Michael May (aka Flourgon), has a valid reason to question the similarities between her track and his 1998 hit, “We Run Things.” Documents excerpted by The Blast show May noticed both songs feature “defiant audaciousness in the realm of self-discovery and self-governance,” at least one similar, main lyric and an “urban or Caribbean” feel. In addition to dismissing Miley’s request to have the suit tossed, the judge warned May he can only go after Miley for damages beginning three years before May filed against her.
