Brown and Linzer also point to the fact that Lipa has given multiple interviews in which they say she acknowledges finding inspiration from past disco-era songs, and write that they brought the suit against her so that she and the other defendants “cannot wiggle out of their willful infringement.”

“Lipa admitted that she deliberately emulated prior eras of music to createFuture Nostalgia, the aptly named album on which ‘Levitating’ appears,” the complaint says. “In seeking nostalgic inspiration, Defendants copied Plaintiffs' creation without attribution.”

The plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified amount, but say that they’ve suffered damages “including lost profits to be proven at trial.”

A rep for Lipa did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

“Levitating” peaked at No. 2 on theBillboardHot 100, but topped the Adult Contemporary, Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 charts. It was also the No. 1 song onBillboard’s Hot 100 Year-End chart.

The suit comes days after the Florida reggae band Artikal Sound Systemfiled a copyright infringement suitof their own, claiming that “Levitating” ripped off their 2017 song “Live Your Life.”
