Federal Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Claiming Dua Lipa's "Levitating" Infringed on Reggae Group's Song

  • Dua Lipa won a lawsuit claiming her hit song "Levitating" copied a Florida reggae group's 2017 song "Live Your Life".
  • The judge ruled the group failed to prove the "Levitating" writers had access to their song.
  • The judge denied the group's request to move the case to New York to join another lawsuit over the same issue.
  • "Levitating" spent 77 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number two in 2021.
  • The group can file an amended complaint, but otherwise the case is dismissed.
