Sam Smith and Fifth Harmony singer Normani have triumphed in a copyright lawsuit battle over hit Dancing With a Stranger.

The pair prevailed in their infringement fight over their 2019 collaboration after a conclusion of the case was announced. Sam and Normani were sued by songwriters Jordan Vincent, Christopher Miranda and Rosco Banlaoi in March 2022 over their 2015 track of the same name.

Judge Wesley Hsu ruled that ‘most if not all of the Plaintiff’s claimed similarities were not protectable by law'. He found that the phrase Dancing with a Stranger was not 'unique enough to be protected by copyright'.

This reminds of me Taylor trying to copyright "This sick beat" and other very common phrases during the 1989 era
