Dua Lipa wins second copyright case over single Levitating


US judge dismisses claim by two disco songwriters, stating that finding in their favour would ‘completely foreclose’ evolution of song genre

A US judge has dismissed a claim by two disco songwriters that Dua Lipa copied her single Levitating from two of their songs, stressing that to find in their favour would “completely foreclose” the evolution of the genre. Lipa previously won another copyright case over Levitating, in which the Florida reggae group Artikal Sound System claimed that it stole the chorus from their 2015 song Live Your Life. Lipa is currently touring her 2024 album Radical Optimism in Australia and promoting a fifth-anniversary reissue of Future Nostalgia, including a remix of the song Physical with Australian singer Troye Sivan.
