Dua Lipa sued for allegedly copying her hit song Levitating from a band

Dua Lipa's hit single has levitated to a legal space. According to court documents, the singer is currently facing a copyright infringement lawsuit for her 2020 hit single, Levitating. In the documents, the group members of Artikal Sound System, a band from Florida, filed the complaint against the pop star, along with her label, Warner Records. In the lawsuit, filed in a Los Angeles federal court, the band states that Dua's hit is "substantially similar" to their 2017 single, Live Your Life. Although the group doesn’t provide the details on how the singer and her team were able to allegedly copy their song. "Given the degree of similarity," their claim continued, "It is highly unlikely that Levitating was created independently from Live Your Life." Levitating, which was released in October 2020 from Dua's album, Future Nostalgia, proved to be a smash hit for the singer, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. After spending more than 41 weeks on the charts, it also became the longest-running Top-10 song ever by a female artist, according to Billboard.
