Judge Antony Zacaroli said that Sheeran “neither deliberately nor subconsciously” copied a phrase from British grime track “Oh Why”, when writing “Shape of You”.

But two other songwriters, Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue, alleged that the song had musical similarities to their own composition “Oh Why”, performed under Chokri’s stage-name Sami Switch.
