Let's discuss this calmly. Plagiarism or not? I think it's every creator. One of the biggest nightmares. I have written hundreds of songs for more than 20 years, but I have never counted them. There will inevitably be some "unforgettable" works that are questioned. "Tanya Chua first responded to her old song " red high heels . " and " and I don't understand more and more" were questioned by netizens as plagiarism. Tanya Tanya wrote on Weibo, ""Red High Heels" and "I don't understand more and more". Songs written 12 years ago. They are still criticized today. Now I can only laugh at my own dark history (we can laugh together! But no need to curse). At that time, I often listened to The Weepies, but when I was writing the song, I really didn’t think about plagiarism. Naturally, I wrote a story about high heels and my growing lack of understanding of love. I didn’t think I would be criticized, but I blamed myself for being naive. What should I do if things got to that point? I still love these songs and take responsibility for the "storm" caused by them. I also contacted The Weepies to explain that the situation was not intentional or malicious, and they also understood it, so the creator respects the creator. I'm at least responsible! Don't be angry anymore. If it still makes you uncomfortable, please don't listen! That's the most important thing!"

When creating each song, it is the inspiration of that moment that comes together in one go. Is this one like this one? That song? Believe me, I, a middle-aged woman, really can’t compare songs from all over the world! If I really have to worry about it all the time, I’ll lose the fun and joy of writing songs. Meaning. I can only rely on the inspiration of the moment to write music that is worthy of myself and my fans.”
Tanya Chua frankly said that she would not dare to “plagiarize”, and I would not agree with it. "Need", Tanya Chua talked about her creative attitude: "I am still the same Tanya Chua who writes songs and sings seriously. Unless these songs no longer move people, that is the day I stop making music." Five notes are in the same tune, but I feel that my music is a lie and plagiarism. This is what I need to accept in life and not force myself to do anything.” She also said modestly, “I don’t have a long history in music. I am qualified to say that my songs are the most creative and unprecedented. Because I have listened to so much music since I was a child, I have been inspired by many predecessors, and I have gradually learned how to write my own style of music and sing my own style.” Tanya Chua’s outstanding music. Her talent is sought after by music fans. After Tanya Tanya posted this long post in response, netizens commented: I support you, come on.
