The release of Dark Horse was not without controversy. In 2015, the copyright case Gray v. Universal Music Corp. revealed that the melody closely resembled a 1957 Indian folk song called "Oh Me Oh My (Who Made the East a West)." This litigation, though initially favoring the plaintiffs, was later overturned, underscoring the complex interplay between inspiration and originality in music. Despite this, the song’s success remained unshaken, topping charts globally and earning a place in pop culture.
