This comment section is bothering me. There seems to be a large misunderstanding as to what’s happening. All black fans did was point out that Smart was clearly inspired by Tyla’s water. (This is due not only to the genre itself, but the fact the outfits were similar, they did the same dance move she did, and they even changed their accent.) That’s it. No one is upset, nor are they claiming that it’s plagiarism.
A lot of kpop fans don’t realize that kpop since its inception has been inspired by black culture, and so black kpop fans were simply making an observation that Water’s popularity is the newest inspiration. They’re also pointing out how silly these fans look when they’re being racist to that black model by saying "keep kpop korean", and here goes that same kpop group that they’re a fan of mimicking a black artist.
Is it just the same BPM? 🤔 bcos when I heard the chorus I just was I heard that already?😃 but than I found that I've mixed 2 songs Water and Calm down with Selena 🤣
I think mostly people are unhappy with the racist comments that were thrown at the black model by the assumed to be fans so when they realised a song that is generally from a black background it felt effy also the fact there is no black producer for the song so it feels weird. I get people being defensive a lot of things from africa or the black community in general has been stolen so i think most people just want acknowledgement. Hire a black producer or get a black person involved or give the necessary credits everything will be fine. I remember a song from TXT went viral among the black community simply because they involved a black person. If you think about where the black community comes from and what they currently undergo it seems fair to acknowledge it.
Most of the reggaeton songs sounded like WATER. The difference is WATER by Tyla are more popular. Just like Tyla's latest single "Truth or Dare" almost sounded like WATER.
I heard a song similar to Water before I listened to both Water and Smart. Tyla didn't create this sort of style and even if she did, I think it's still fine for the team behind this song to make a song similar to Water.
I’m South African, and I was so happy when I heard smart come out cause it’s amapiano in the backround and bro i love kpop and i love amapiano so i think no one should be hating on le serafim and tyla
If WATER is your first afrobeats song, ofcourse everything with a hint of afrobeats will get you thinking PLAGIARISM…..wait till you hear amapiano😅, it's all the same…..yet different 😂😂😂so stop tripping
Oh my gosh two songs in a similar genre have similar chord progressions in one specific bar of the song. 🤦♀️ Jesus the haters really are reaching these days. It’s not the like the most memorable parts of the songs are all that similar, besides having similar vibes. “Smart” gives me more “Calm Down” by Rema with Selena. But even then…it’s mostly because they’re a similar genre.
A LE SSERAFIM and Tyla collab would be amazing❤❤❤!
I don't think it's nowhere near plagiarism, but the chorus of smart actually reminded me of calm down

My girl wouldn’t give to flying shits💀💀
why did you change the name on lesserifin’s song “Smart” to “Easy” in the comparison video
the cuts gonna go crazy
Tbh it sounds more like doja cat's woman not tyla's water
It's more like Doja Cat's Woman and Selena's Calm Down.
Why is she talking about someone copying someone? When shes basically sound like extra size Stephanie Soo? Pretty ironic
Is it just the same BPM? 🤔 bcos when I heard the chorus I just was I heard that already?😃 but than I found that I've mixed 2 songs Water and Calm down with Selena 🤣
idk about water but i always thought smart sounded more like woman. specially the parts "smarter baby smarter" and "let me be your woman"
nah i think its not similar bruh wtf

smart is similar to woman by doja cat but that’s fine
It's sad when the Artists themselves have to tell fans to chill out! Shout out to Tyla for being a real one
South Africans don't really do fan wars, if a song sounds similar to another its fine. It's not that deep.
I knew Tyla wouldn't care
I’m South African, and I was so happy when I heard smart come out cause it’s amapiano in the backround and bro i love kpop and i love amapiano so i think no one should be hating on le serafim and tyla

They're just using afro beats. There's no copying 😂 lol
smart remix ft. tyla UM WHEN
Smart kinda sounds like woman by doja cat as well
They would DIE! If they were to ever hear Dancehall and Reggae songs bro😭
Trend nowaydays waitint for hybe group to release something then nitpicking controversy
Tyla doesn’t own the amapiano wave, she is also not the producer of her song… so…
did you mean anything but easy?
Why can they just do kpop and stop using others because if an international singer uses kpop style it becomes war for them
Why netizens are so JOBLESS?
I feel it’s much similar to Woman by Doja Cat
tyla is so relatable
They don’t sound alike at all lmao
South African here. Kpop fans would explode if they heard how similar every amapiano song is 😂 we have bigger problems ek sê
All I hear in smart is an island type feel OK Tyla is from South Africa would y’all say our South African music sounds like Tylas water
They do sound similar, but it is under the same genre of music.
The chorus was more Woman by Doja Cat in my opinion.
Not Even Close. Don't know what you guys are listening to. By the way, the girls are doing super great support instead of hating.
