Despite the popularity, the song is unfortunately being accused of plagiarism. Some listeners have commented that the song is very similar to British pop singer Cheryl Cole’s 2009 song ‘Fight For This Love’.

“I tried carefully listening to both songs twice, and I have to say they are almost the same. The only difference is the language? What a bummer.. I really wanted to like the song. I hope Sunmi does not get backlash for this song too much”, a YouTube user wrote.
