Paris Jackson continues to explore her musical side with the release of a new single titled "bandaid." Interestingly, the track's intro strikingly resembles the Nirvana track "Lithium."

Take a listen to the track below and judge for yourself.

For the sake of comparison, here's "Lithium," which is off of Nirvana's landmark 1991 album Nevermind.

Jackson, the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, signed with Republic Records in 2020. Since then, the 24-year-old singer/songwriter has released one studio album, two EPs and three non-album singles.

BY THE NUMBERS: Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’

Nirvana’s landmark album Nevermind, which was released 29 years ago today (September 24), was as ground-breaking as it was successful.

If you needed further proof, here’s the album “By The Numbers.”
