Thou Shall Not Lie

On April 5, 2024, Jojo Siwa released her new song, “Karma”. She hadn’t released any music since 2020 so this was quite a surprise to people. The weeks before she released her new song, she had talked about how she would be releasing a new song and had been giving sneak peaks on social media, like TikTok. Jojo Siwa says that her biggest influences were Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus and she  wanted to “flip the switch” like Miley did and become an adult star and not a child star. Today.com says, “In another interview with Billboard where she explained how the song and music video came together, she shared her ultimate goal with her new era.”

There have been rumors going around that Jojo has stolen her song from Miley Cyrus and that the song was linked to her. One of the songwriters who helped make “Karma” was linked to Miley and had helped produce her songs in the 2010’s. One of the other musicians that was linked to the song was Brit Smith. She had made an unreleased song called “Provocative” which had the exact same lyrics as Jojo Siwa’s “Karma”. Brit later addressed it in an interview saying that she had recorded the song back  in 2012.
