A-list Country Star reveals that she unintentionally plagued the biggest hit of Dolly Parton

Maren Morris admits that she has accidentally lifted several elements from Dolly Parton‘s 1980 Classic 9 to 5 for its own song.

The Arlington, Texas Native, 35, explained what had happened – and how Parton again confirmed why she is one of the most loved figures in the show business – while she appeared on the Zach Sang Show.

“I think that, like, is the worst fear of every songwriter, is unintentionally on top of a melody that already exists and, you know, it happens more than you think,” the Grammy-winning artist said.

She added: “I think when I write with so many different people – and play the song so often for loved ones before it ever comes to the audience – there is always, like, checks and balances.”

The country music artist said that extensive collaborations produce ‘Checks and Balances’ and can help determine the extra experts in the Chamber when a melody’ is a bit too close to [another] song.

Morris explained the situation that emerged from the 2019 release of her track All my favorite peopleWho also contained brothers Osborne, because she eventually thought it looked too much like Dolly Parton’s hit 9 to 5 from 1980.

‘There is a song called on my second album All my favorite people – And I remember that it was two weeks until the record was out – and my mother was actually the one who looked like: “I noticed the fresh/melody a bit, sounds a bit like 9 to 5,” said Morris.

All my favorite people were partly written by Morris’ ex-husband Ryan Hurd, with whom she separated last year; And Grammy nominated songwriter Mikey Reaves.

The song was produced by Morris and the late music producer Busbee (whose full name was Michael James Ryan) died in September 2019 at the age of 43.

The middle singer said that her ‘belly fell’ when her mother told her that she had the feeling that there were notable similarities between her job and the Parton Stap.

“She really tried to give me,” said Morris, “and I immediately listened to it.”

The Bones singer said that at that time she compared the songs and realized that they sounded the same.

Morris said she told Parton about her concern about the similarities, but the Jolene artist could not have been zeeter.

Morris said that ‘it was close enough’ that she felt terrible about what had happened – and was looking for a way to reach the camp of Parton and offer her a songwriting credit on the track (which was not released as a single).

Morris said the situation that came from the release of her song all my favorite people, because she finally thought it looked too much like Dolly Parton’s hit 9 to 5. The song was the main single from the film with the same name, who played Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin

“I remember she wrote something about her,” said Morris about Parton.

Morris said that Parton told her: “Oh, my God, darling, you are all good,” adding that she hadn’t taken any money but “would have made something” if she had pursued a legal arrangement.

The mine church artist added that Parton expanded her a courtesy that many of their colleagues would not have, because ‘many other artists are litigious’ and would wait until the song earns as much money as possible before they pursue a lawsuit.

“It’s just such a nightmare for songwriters, who are already like that, also so underpaid,” added the circles around this city singer.

Morris said that she and Parton have worked together since then.
