Singer-songwriter Josh Stone claims the pop star lifted key elements from his 2017 track 'You Need I Got It.'Singer, songwriter and producer, who performs under the name DOT, has sued Grande for allegedly ripping off the chorus of his 2017 track “You Need I Got It” for her 2019 single, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight non-consecutive weeks last year.Tamir Young
Young goes on to state that two different musicologists concluded “7 Rings” likely copied the choruses and hooks from “You Need I Got It,” with one finding 39 respective notes from the songs to be “identical.” The complaint further highlights the obvious similarities between “7 Rings” lyrics “I want it/I got it/I want it/I got it” and Stone's lyrics “You need it/I got it/You want it/I got it."Thomas Lee Brown
Grande is slated to perform “7 Rings” at next week’s Grammys, where the song itself is up for two awards and Grande is nominated for five.Billboard
