Sam Smith has won a copyright lawsuit filed by songwriters who claimed Smith’s hit Dancing With a Stranger imitated their own track.
Jordan Vincent, Christopher Miranda and Rosco Banlaoi had alleged that their song Dancing With Strangers, performed by Vincent, was infringed upon by Smith’s song, a duet with US singer Normani which shares the same chorus line “dancing with a stranger”. Dancing With Strangers amassed over 500,000 streams after being uploaded to Soundcloud in 2015.
