Demi Lovato Allegedly Used Samples From Indie Band Sleigh Bells Without Permission For New Song 'Stars' [VIDEOS]

Demi Lovato is facing a lot of trouble for her newest song, "Stars."

Indie band Sleigh Bells called out Demi Lovato for allegedly sampling two of their songs, "Riot Rhythm" and "Infinity Guitars," which were tracks from "Treats," their 2010 debut album.

In a tweet on Monday night, Sleigh Bells wrote: ".@ddlovato Demi Lovato flattered you guys sampled Infinity Guitars & Riot Rhythm for 'Stars' but we were not contacted. Gotta clear those."

Take a listen to all the tracks and see the similarities for yourself.

It's no surprise that Sleigh Bells got a lot of backlash from Demi Lovato's fans for their tweet. In another tweet posted on Tuesday, Sleigh Bells wrote: "Hot damn Demi fans you guys are f-kin live I respect that."

Demi Lovato has yet to issue a comment on this new allegation.

According to Entertainment Tonight:

"This isn't the first time Lovato has been accused of ripping off another artist. Upon the release of 'Cool for the Summer,' people started to claim that the track sounded similar to Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl' and Jessie J's 'Domino.' Perry's lyrics in 'I Kissed A Girl' were especially compared to Lovato's summer hit.

"The former Disney star responded via Twitter to the allegations, writing: 'Sounds nothing like it and with all the advances we've made in the LGBT community...'"

"Stars" and "Cool for the Summer" are both tracks from the 23-year-old's latest album, "Confident."

Back in August, Demi Lovato was proudly singing praises for her songs: "I wanted something that was going to best represent the album title, where I'm at today and the music," Lovato told Entertainment Tonight at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.
