Sam Smith and Normani’s plea to drop the ‘Dancing with a Stranger’ lawsuit rejected

The copyright infringement lawsuit concerning Sam Smith and Normani’s hit collaboration, “Dancing with a Stranger,” is moving forward once again after a previous dismissal was overturned. A federal judge has ruled that the dispute must go to trial so a jury can evaluate the originality of the track’s composition. Originally launched in 2019, the popular single achieved significant commercial success, peaking at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
