Your Midsummer's Fervor for Me

Dale Cook, the rising star, quickly became popular with the song "Summer", with single album sales exceeding 100 million in three days.

The lyrics were moving. It said, "My feelings for you are hidden in the umbrella that leans towards you."

It awakened countless people's naive youth love.

However, less than a month after the release of the album, it was said that Dale plagiarized.

The person claimed that he had solid evidence.

Instantly, public opinion was in an uproar, and netizens cursed Dale as shameless.

The album was returned in large quantities, and many brands announced the termination of their contracts with Dale.

However, in the face of questioning and accusations, Dale only posted several words on Twitter.

"I didn't plagiarize. I wrote it for her."

As soon as Dale's album "Summer" was released, snapping up screenshots of the album was hogging all my social media.

It also became the top trending topic on Twitter.

#Dale's "Summer"

#The album of the rising star in the music industry has sold over one million copies

He became utterly popular.

I opened the music app and clicked on the song "Summer" which soared to the top of the list.

The song was very nice.

In the summer of 2015, Dale was playing the guitar in the basement.

Back then, he sang it to me especially. It was as good as it was now.

But shortly after the album was released, within a month, it was accused of plagiarism.

The whistleblower was a partner of Dale's former studio.

He posted the lyrics and melody he wrote for this song.

He also posted a video of him recording the song in the recording studio.

The recording time was a whole year earlier than the release time of the album.

The public opinion was in an uproar immediately, and netizens rushed to the comments section of Dale's Twitter to curse him for being shameless.

His studio received over thirty million album refund requests that evening.

Major brands that had collaborated with Dale started to release termination statements.

Dale was accused of plagiarism before he even had a chance to explain himself.

Everyone was waiting for his response.

Yet Dale only posted several words on Twitter.

"I didn't plagiarize. I wrote it for her."

His words were concise.

There was no self-justification or explanation, and of course, netizens didn't buy it.

I clicked on the comments section of this post, and as I expected, everyone was cursing.

[You say you didn't plagiarize. Where's the evidence? Everyone can type.]

[Now you're pretending to be affectionate? That man has already posted a video. How do you wanna explain?]

[Drop the act, you shameless plagiarist. Give me my money back. I paid for your album.]

Everyone was cursing, and a lot of Dale's loyal fans felt betrayed and joined the other netizens.

It seemed like no one believed Dale. Only I knew he didn't plagiarize.

Because he wrote the song "Summer" for me, Eda Cantrell.
