Stella Lefty is facing another wave of plagiarism allegations after listeners began comparing her song Misery with A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman soundtrack. The latest claims surfaced through online comments and social media posts, where users highlighted perceived similarities between the two songs.

The discussion has expanded in recent days, with online listeners pointing to parts of the melody and overall structure. Misery is credited to Stella Lefty, Madi Yanofsky and Phil Cook, while A Million Dreams was written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. No legal action or formal plagiarism ruling has been announced.

The controversy follows earlier comparisons involving Lefty’s music. Her song Why Wouldn’t We was previously compared online with Blake Shelton’s I’ll Name The Dogs, while Boston drew attention for similarities to Noah Kahan’s Stick Season. Kahan later received a songwriting credit on Boston.

For now, the Misery dispute remains centered on listener comparisons and social media discussion, with no confirmed finding that the song infringes another work.
