It’s not easy being a rockstar.

The band Lustra says the song is too similar to their “Scotty Doesn’t Know” to be a coincidence, and they’re mulling legal action against Cyrus. Miley’s response? “She doesn’t write the songs—she sings them,” says her rep. “We have referred this to Disney.” (More Hannah Montana stories.)
