Katy Perry's 'Roar' Sounds A Lot Like Sara Bareilles' 'Brave'

Katy Perry's New Song Sounds AWFULLY Familiar

Further muddying the waters: Perry herself tweeted praise for "Brave" on May 16 of this year.

I heart you @Sarabareilles : http://t.co/6BGGzoAibn

Whether the kinship between "Roar" and "Brave" is intentional is unclear. HuffPost Entertainment contacted Interscope, Perry's record label, for comment on the matter (this post will be updated if they respond). Bareilles, meanwhile, appears to hold no ill will about the song -- at least according to this tweet:

All love, everybody. All love. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
