Okay people it is about for some insight on the sample used for backing! It was first created and used by Sting in his song "Shape of My Heart" in 1993 in 1996 it was then used by Nas in his song "The Message". By the early 2000s this sample had become popular among many Hip Hop and R&B artists who based songs around their adaptations of this sample. Some of the songs which incorporate this sample include; "Rise and Fall" by Craig David (featuring Sting themselves) and even "Break You Off" by Roots had an adaptation of this sample. Many covers of the original song "Shape of My Heart" have also been produced including "Shape" by The Sugababes. So here is the line up; "Shape of My Heart" by Sting - 1993 "The Message" by Nas - 1996 "Rise and Fall" by Craig David - 2002 "Break You Off" by Roots - 2002 "Shape" by The Sugababes "Turn Back" by K Koke - 2012 So no they have not copied it and this is not plagiarism!! It is the artists adaptation of this great sample... Just enjoy the music, people! :D PS. This song is great and has so much emotion!
