Dua Lipa was sued three separate times over her 2017 hit, but the first two cases have officially been dismissed.
A copyright infringement lawsuit against Dua Lipa over her 2017 hit “Levitating” has been dismissed, according to Billboard. The lawsuit in question was the second of three separate lawsuits against the British singer, and was filed in 2022, after a previous case, filed earlier that year, was dismissed by a judge who doubted the veracity of the plaintiff’s claims.
This second suit was filed by songwriters L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer, who claimed she duplicated elements of their 1979 song “Wiggle And Giggle All Night” and the 1980 song “Don Diablo.” They specifically cited the opening melody from “Levitating” as unlawfully swiping their sound.
