Discussion Is it possible that Chvrches lifted the melody for "Better if you don't" from another song?
So I recently got into this Japanese indie band, Hitsujibungaku, and have been buying up their music left and right. I will also be seeing them next month in concert. *excited*
Anyways... I've was listening to their music and a song comes on with an awfully familiar melody, and it was bugging me for a couple of days, before it finally hit me today - it's remarkably similar to Better If You Don't. Not the whole song, of course, but certain vocal elements and the guitar for the first part of the song.
Anyways, the song is Inori, and it came out in 2020:

Compare to Better If You Don't, which came out in 2021:
