Enrique Fans In Uproar As Britney Plagiarizes His Music

Contributed Anonymously:

Fans at Enrique Iglesias’ official forum are in an uproar about the “new song” that Britney Spears has been singing at her concerts and claiming that she wrote. The song entitled ‘My Love Was Always There is almost a carbon copy of Enrique’s song ‘Maybe’ from his album ‘Escape’.

There are obviously similarities in the lyrics

My Love Was Always There

If I had just one wish
I’d go back to the moment we kissed
but no matter how hard I tried,
I cant get you outta my mind.
How could you say that you loved me?
How could you say that you cared?
I know that she may be pretty,
But my love was always there
They say that time. time always heals
But they don’t know the pain that I feel
They say that you were so good to me
How did u do it so easily?
How could you say that you loved me?
How could you say that you care?
I know that she may be pretty
But my love was always there

Maybe

If I had one single wish
I’d go back to the moment I kissed

You goodbye
No matter how I try
I can’t live
Without you in my life

Maybe you’ll say you still want me
Maybe you’ll say that you don’t
Maybe we said it was over
But Baby I can’t let you go

I walk around trying to understand
Where we went wrong
And I can’t pretend

It wasn’t me
And it wasn’t you
But I’m convinced
We gave up too soon

Nothing left to lose
After losing you
There’s nothing I can’t take

When I run to you
When I come for you
Don’t tell me I’m too late

Although the lyrics are slightly different, there’s no denying the similarities in the melodies of the song, as they seem to be the exact same song. Even if Britney is using the song with Enrique and his co-writer’s permission, she shouldn’t be claiming to be the sole writer of the song at her concerts.
