13 WWE Theme Songs That Are Blatant Ripoffs
10. The New Day (Chris Brown - Run It!)
It's fair to say that The New Day's theme "New Day, New Way" (debuted in 2014) usually takes a backseat to the sheer personalities of the trio as they make their way to the ring, but if you listen close, it's clearly borrowing from a pre-existing tune.
The bass line and general beat are extremely similar to Chris Brown's 2005 hit "Run It!", and though the vocal style is pretty different in each case, considering how little the melody changes throughout The New Day's theme, the similarity is felt for the entire song.
The New Day's theme as a whole is so anodyne and forgettable that most fans haven't noticed, but once you break it down, it's totally obvious.
