An Australian band is accusing singer Ariana Grande of ripping off one of their music videos.
Following the release of the songstress' 'One Last Time' video on February 15, the Canberra-based indie group called SAFIA said in a Facebook post that the clip looked too similar to one they made for their song 'You Are the One', reported Ace Showbiz.
"This might just be coincidence but to us it looks like either the people at Ariana Grande's label or the film maker have seen our clip for 'You Are the One' and reworked the concept a little bit and then straight up stolen and copied some bits (ESPECIALLY THE END!)," the band wrote.
The two videos do have a number of similarities. Both tell the story of the world coming to an end. They center on a girl who gets out of her car, runs through the streets and shares a hug with a man before a huge explosion occurs.
'One Last Time' is the fourth single of Grande's album 'My Everything'.
