This is Travis Tritt's song, released in 1990.

And this is Roxette's song, released in 1992.

Specifically, listen to the chorus/hook of both songs. It sounds oddly similar. A guy who knows how to read music says they could be similar, but Tritt's version is more complex.

Their close proximity in time seems especially odd.

Its dangerous to assume that Roxette ripped off Tritt. However, if you listen to your heart you will know the answer. The truth is life is just a joyride.

I don't know but I spent 20 minutes listening to 90s music.

I believe they both have theaters in Branson now so it’s water under the bridge really..

Please use the correct title for the Roxette song

And no, they are different enough that I hear barely any resemblence except a tiny bit of chorus similarites

Frankly I am offended by this thread as Roxette is my favourite band of all time

According to Wiki it was originally released by Roxette in 1987 and re-released/re-done in 1990 for Pretty Woman and again in 1992.

Roxette is amazing, and no, they didn't rip off that song.

If that is true, then the table has turned.

Per is an amazingly talented Swedish songwriter, one similar chord change does in no way = a ripoff of some random country and western song

As mentioned, if anything it would be the other way around. Roxette was great, great first post, lol.

Well, the question should be reversed then. Did Travis steal from Roxette?

Why did you put the wrong name for the song in the OP?

Lazy posting..... come on

Roxette were really good live. They had to stop touring though but I am glad I saw them before that.
