Charli XCX’s newly released song has the exact same passage as Bich Phuong’s hit “Di Du Dua Di”
Recently, many USUK fans in Vietnam discovered the tune of Charli XCX’s newly released song – Used To Know Me, 11th track on newly released studio album CRASH, very similar to Bich Phuong’s cult hit – Go Swing Take Away.
Specifically, the opening part of the song Used To Know Me: “You used to know me now you’ve gone” the melody is almost 100% similar to the lyrics “When I go, I’m all sad when I come back” featured from the song Go Swing Take Away. Also need to remember Take the Swing released on 24/8/2019 while Used To Know Me just aired on March 18, 2022.
Bich Phuong – Go Swinging
Charli XCX – Used To Know Me
Because the tunes of the two songs are so similar, many listeners question the song’s credits. And indeed, in the detailed credits of Used To Know Me, Charli XCX’s team also has clear information: the song has a sample of music from Show Me Love by Robin S and interpolate the music from Take the Swing by Bich Phuong.
It can be seen that Tien Cookie’s catchy tune composed for Bich Phuong has not only “stormed” the Vietnamese music industry throughout 2019 but also attracted the attention of international artists.
The credits of Used To Know Me have information that “interpolate” the song “Di Du Du Du Di” from Bich Phuong.
“Interpolate” is a term used in popular music to refer to the use of a melody from a previously recorded song in a new song. However, the original melody will be re-recorded, keeping the old melody but with some changes in harmony, structure,… and lyrics to match the new song.
This is different from using “sample” – keeping the original melody from an old song intact to include in a new song.
This is a fairly common practice in the world music industry and of course, there must also be a clear exchange contract between the two owners to avoid copyright issues arising. One of the most famous cases of “interpolate” can be said of the classic hit Hung Up of “Queen of Pop” Madonna used the melody from another classic hit Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! of the legendary boy band ABBA.
Most recently, Olivia Rodrigo “interpolate” the melody from 2 Taylor Swift songs: Cruel Summer and New Year’s Day bring in my 2 songs in turn Deja Vu and 1 Step Forward, 3 Step Backs. Olivia Rodrigo also credits Taylor Swift’s name to the list of composers on her debut studio album for this same reason.
We are contacting Tien Cookie – Bich Phuong to get more information about Charli XCX’s use of the melody from the song. Go Swing Take Away.
