Elley duhe’s song [middle of the night](https://youtu.be/Ky1dduzoEe0) has literally the beggining of [asturias](https://youtu.be/inBKFMB-yPg) in it, did she buy the song or something?

It depends on how much is used. There are things that are simple enough that they can’t be copyright protected. A set of 4 chords wouldn’t be protected but the specific pattern, tempo they are played can be. If she didn’t license it or give credit, it’s possible that piece of the song isn’t protectable.
