A plagiarism controversy is brewing online between Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and SNSD’s “Be Happy.”

Lady GaGa的新曲《Born This Way》被卷入抄襲少女時代《Be Happy》的非議。對此創作少女時代《Be Happy》的作曲家E-TRIBE發表了自己的看法。11日E-TRIBE表示:「上午聽說有報道稱Lady GaGa的歌曲《Born This Way》抄襲了少女時代的《Be Happy》，所以我也聽了一下歌曲，覺得歌曲的氛圍很相似；歌曲的進行、編曲也有相似之處，我現在正在打聽Lady GaGa在國內的相關人士；我在想如果韓國藝人比Lady GaGa歌曲發佈得晚會出什麼樣的事情。」另外，Youtube上有人上傳了比較《Born This Way》與《Be happy》的短片。

Recently, a YouTube video comparing the two songs surfaced, leading to accusations of how Lady Gaga was plagiarizing SNSD. “Born This Way” is a track from Lady Gaga’s February release, while “Be Happy” is a 2010 track from SNSD’s second album.

The responses from netizens have been largely divided. Some wrote, “It sounds like it was plagiarized,” and “No wonder ‘Born This Way’ sounded so familiar.” Others retorted, “Lady Gaga composes her own songs. This was composed by her, and it’s not the same at all,” and “It might just be coincidence.”

E-TRIBE, the composer behind “Be Happy,” responded to the claims through Newsen on March 11th and stated, “Someone this morning told me that there were reports of Lady Gaga plagiarizing SNSD’s ‘Be Happy.’ I listened, and I do feel that there are similarities. The way the song flows and the arrangements are, honestly, the same. I am currently working to get in contact with Lady Gaga’s publishing label to find further information.”
