Lawyers for Sam Smith and Normani are asking a judge to reject the bulk of an amended copyright infringement lawsuit that alleges the superstar duo’s 2019 multiplatinum hit “Dancing With a Stranger” stole from a 2015 song by the same name.
In a recently filed dismissal motion obtained by Rolling Stone, the lawyers say the revised complaint, filed Aug. 15, doesn’t go far enough in addressing the alleged deficiencies listed in their prior dismissal motion filed back in July, which was set aside to give the plaintiffs a chance to update their pleadings.

A new copyright infringement lawsuit claims Sam Smith and Normani copied essential elements of a 2015 song titled “Dancing With a Stranger” to release their own sultry single by the same name four years later.
In the complaint filed in federal court in Los Angeles on Friday, songwriters Jordan Vincent, Christopher Miranda and Rosco Banlaoi allege that Smith’s moody, multiplatinum duet with the former Fifth Harmony band member has the “same” title, chorus and composition as the song previously published on Vincent’s YouTube channel, Spotify and other streaming services on Aug.
