Was listening to BJ radio this morning and heard I Don't Wanna by The Call. Letter To A Friend sounds quite similar to me.

"I'm complicated, I get frustrated, right or wrong, love or hate it..." - a bit too obvious IMO:

PS. We have to remember Somebody Told Me was originally released in 2004.

Somebody Told Me is a song that's lightyears ahead of Complicated anyway.

That song also features portions of "I Kissed A Girl", which was written later, but shares a co-writer.

Ouch. Jon could've at least waited for more than 2 years after the release of this song before he released Summertime:

I am huge bte fan. I never heard the similarities before. I do now. Good catch. Hindsight I wish Jon had ripped off something from Friction Baby.
