Young Files Claim Over Songwriting Credits

British singer-songwriter Lola Young has initiated legal proceedings against producer Carter Lang over a dispute regarding songwriting credits for four of her songs. The claim, filed in a London court on behalf of Young and Sony Music Publishing, challenges Lang’s asserted co-writing contributions.

This high-profile case highlights the critical importance of intellectual property rights in the music industry, which determine both creative recognition and financial royalties. Carter Lang is an established producer known for his work with major artists like SZA and Justin Bieber.

The dispute brings attention to the often-complex process of assigning credits in modern music production, where collaboration can be fluid. As reported by Variety, the claim is now officially in the hands of the court, with both sides yet to release public statements.
