Lizzo is facing a countersuit from three songwriters over 'Truth Hurts,' who have accused the star of a “bad faith, unprincipled attempt to deny songwriting and producer credits and royalties” to breakout smash

Lawyers for the three songwriters said in a statement, “Lizzo is a talented musician and performer who currently enjoys immense popularity based on a hit song that she did not write alone. The counterclaims we filed today seek a judgment from the court that the song that is now called ‘Truth Hurts’ originated in Justin Raisen’s home recording studio from a collaboration among our clients, Justin and Jeremiah Raisen and Yves Rothman, along with Lizzo and Jesse Saint John.

The countersuit later lays out the ways “Truth Hurts” and “Healthy” are allegedly the same, beyond the “100 percent” line. The suit states they have identical structures to the point that “if the ‘Truth Hurts’ vocals are played over the music to ‘Healthy,’ every musical drop and change matches up perfectly when played in the same key.
