Some social media users have been comparing Beyoncé's hit single "Texas Hold 'Em" to the theme song for the Canadian cartoon show "Franklin," but the composer of that tune says all the praise belongs to Queen Bey.

As fans know, Beyoncé's two new country songs — "16 Carriages and "Texas Hold 'Em" — have taken the internet by storm since she released them during a surprise Super Bowl commercial. Most recently, some users pointed out similarities in "Texas Hold 'Em" and the animated show's theme song.

"I'm sorry but did anyone else notice that Beyoncé's new song sound like the Franklin theme song...not in a bad way, the Franklin theme song absolutely rips, but let me show you what I'm talking about," one TikTok user said.

The popular cartoon show ran from 1997 to 2004. And while composer Bruce Cockburn recognizes some similarities between the two, he denied inspiring the singer in any way.

In a statement to PEOPLE Magazine Cockburn said,

“I think Beyoncé’s ‘Texas Hold ’Em’ is a good record. Unfortunately I can’t claim to have had any part in writing it," he said in a statement to People magazine. "The rhythmic feel is similar to my theme song for the 'Franklin' TV series, but to my ears that’s where the similarity stops. 'Texas Hold ’Em' is her song, and I wish her success with it!"

The song has certainly been successful. Beyoncé recently became the first Black woman to top Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. The song has also hit No. 1 on several other charts, and both tunes have been streamed millions of times.

Country music legend Dolly Parton recently congratulated Beyoncé on her recent success with her new country music, adding that she couldn't wait for her full album.

The full Renaissance "Act II" album will be available March 29.
