On Sonalize’s other-version check (a cover-song model), this pair is alike in style, as songs of the same genre often are, though not the closeness of another version (distance 1.79; other versions of a song in these comparisons have a median of 0.31, different songs that sound alike 1.27, random pairs 2.95).

Why this pair

This is a song that interpolates (re-records part of) the other. Public background: melody re-sung over trap beat; 90% of songwriting royalties to Concord / R&H. Sonalize's scores are measurements, not a view on any dispute.

How this was measured

Compared from the full recordings; Sonalize's fingerprint lookup confirmed both songs. The same engine runs in the Sonalize app on your own device. A score measures how alike two recordings are; it isn't a finding about copying, legal advice, or a rights clearance.
