To add fuel to the fire, Perry tweeted in May that she “hearts” Bareilles, suggesting that she had knowledge of her work and songs.

Listeners have created a mash-up of the two songs to emphasize what some are calling plagiarism. The song preaches positive thinking with a catchy chorus that has the same message and sounds quite a bit like American singer-songwriter Bareilles’s song, which was released in April of this year. The single, released on Monday, is the first song released from Perry’s new album Prism, expected to hit shelves on Oct. Pop singer Katy Perry’s new single “ Roar” is causing just that after fans can’t help noticing similarities between it and another popular tune: Sara Bareilles’s “Brave.”
