Fans have complained that track Love Made Me Do It sounds 'remarkably' similar to the 1982 tune as Cheryl unveiled a clean version of the song after her 'over-sexualised' X Factor live act
HER X Factor appearance was panned, her music comeback has disappointed – and now things are about to get worse for Cheryl Tweedy.
The singer has been accused of ripping off Eighties legend Paul Young’s hit Love Of The Common People for her latest single Love Made Me Do It.
Music insiders and fans have complained that the track, which nosedived to No.48 in the midweek charts, sounds “remarkably” similar to the 1982 song.
A source said: “It’s been a big talking point in the music world how Cheryl’s song has huge similarities to Love Of The Common People.
“When you play both the songs’ verses side by side they’re nearly identical and have the same rhythm and feel to it.
“It’s quite embarrassing for Cheryl, especially given she’s trying to portray herself as an innovative songwriter.” She is credited as one of the tracks writers alongside seven others, including pal Nicola Roberts and singer Natasha Bedingfield.
Droves of listeners have also noticed the similarities.
Ashleigh Cartwright wrote online: “Sounds like Love Of The Common People, Paul Young’s version. Wonder if it was on in the background while the song was being penned.”
Kevin Richards commented: “Hope Paul Young is getting some beer tokens for Cheryl’s new song. Sounds cannily familiar to Love Of The Common People, just adding a very poor wardrobe.”
And Dave Easson asked: “Is Cheryl’s new single just Love Of The Common People?”
Paul, pictured, even addressed the comments on Twitter, writing: “I have to say, quite a few people have said this, but I’m not getting it!”
It comes after Love Made Me Do It failed to even make the C list on Radio 1’s playlist of the week, which features the station’s least-prioritised songs.
Cheryl today unveiled a clean version of the song in a bid to boost sales, after her performance on the X Factor received Ofcom complaints for being too “sexualised”.
