Is The 2022 Winter Olympics Theme Just A Rip-Off Of Frozen's 'Let It Go'?

Check it out for yourself.

A number of complaints have already been sent China's way after the International Olympic Committee announced the 2022 Winter Olympics would be held in Beijing, but the latest question mark has been directed at one of the theme songs of the Games for sounding suspiciously similar to a classic Disney song. 

As New York Times reports, one theme song out of the ten released tunes, The Snow & Ice Dance has been accused of sounding way too much like Let It Go, the smash hit from 2013's animated film, Frozen.

The decision to award Beijing the Games has already questioned due to the city's lack of snow, but the new song has infuriated fans who have accused organisers of blatantly copying the popular Disney track, originally sung by Idina Menzel.

Make the call for yourself by checking out the two videos below — the first being the new Beijing theme song and the second, created by a YouTube user, compares the song against Let It Go.

So are people looking too much into this, or is it a straight up rip-off?
