Creating simple music

I have been working on a game for quite a while now and reached a point where I would like to spice it up with some simple background music. I have some knowledge about music so I'd like to create it myself. Considering that these would pretty basic, I have to asume that the notes have been used in a similar way in one of the million songs out there. Could I run into trouble if e.g some niche platformer I've never heard of used similar sounds before? Is there any way to stay as safe as possible? I'd really like to know how other creators are dealing with this. Any other tips that come to your mind are also greatly appreciated.
