“‘Levitating’ is substantially similar to ‘Live Your Life,'” the complaint, which did not provide specifics as to how they believe the song was copied, says. “Given the degree of similarity, it is highly unlikely that ‘Levitating’ was created independently from ‘Live Your Life.'”

A rep for Lipa did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment, nor did an attorney for Artikal Sound System.

The track 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.
