“Feels Like We Only Go Backwards”, the second single from Tame Impala’s Lonerism, was released in late 2012. Its critical and commercial successful helped catapult the band to rock stardom, earned them placement in many year-end listicles (including yours), and even led to a cover by Arctic Monkeys and a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar.

However, now, the band is facing accusations of plagiarism from a Chilean news site, which alleges that “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” rips off “Océano”, the 1989 single by Argentinian pop star Pablo Ruiz. Though Tame Impala songwriter Kevin Parker was only three years old when “Océano” was released, the song does feature an eerily similar melodic structure to “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards”.
