Lizzo <\/strong>is facing legal heat over a viral unreleased track referencing Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney<\/strong>. The issue, however, isn\u2019t the controversial lyric, but the music itself, as Lizzo is facing a lawsuit alleging she unlawfully sampled a 1970s soul track.<\/p>\n Lizzo is being sued in California by the GRC Trust, which claims she unlawfully sampled the 1970s song Win or Lose (We Tried), originally performed by soul singer Sam Dees, for a track that went viral online in August.<\/p>\n The 13-second clip, which fans have nicknamed \u201cGood Jeans or I\u2019m Goin\u2019 In Till October,\u201d has since been scrubbed from Lizzo\u2019s social media. It showed the Grammy-winning artist washing a Porsche in a denim outfit, saying: \u201cI got good jeans like I\u2019m Sydney.\u201d The line was widely interpreted as a nod to Sydney Sweeney\u2019s American Eagle ad campaign, which some commentators accused of promoting \u201cwhite beauty standards.\u201d<\/p>\n While that cultural debate fueled the clip\u2019s popularity, lawyers for GRC Trust were more concerned with what was behind the catchy line, alleging that Lizzo used their copyrighted music without permission.<\/p>\n According to court filings, the company claims Lizzo and her team \u201cobtained profits they would not have realised but for their infringement.\u201d They seek an injunction to prevent any further distribution of the song and a financial settlement covering all profits and losses connected to the alleged infringement.<\/p>\n Lizzo\u2019s team has pushed back, saying the lawsuit makes little sense since the song hasn\u2019t been commercially released or monetized. \u201cWe are surprised that The GRC Trust filed this lawsuit,\u201d her spokesperson said. \u201cTo be clear, the song has never been commercially released or monetised, and no decision has been made at this time regarding any future commercial release of the song.\u201d<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t Lizzo\u2019s first brush with copyright disputes. Back in 2019, three producers sued her over Truth Hurts, claiming she borrowed from an earlier track called Healthy. That case ended in an out-of-court settlement.<\/p>\n Originally written by Devanshi Basu for Mandatory<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Lizzo Faces Lawsuit Over Sydney Sweeney Song Lyrics<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lizzo is facing legal heat over a viral unreleased track referencing Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney.
