Lola Young Sues Collaborator Over Songwriting Credits

In a recent development, rising British singer-songwriter Lola Young has taken legal action against her collaborator Carter Lang over a dispute regarding songwriting credits. According to reports, Young has filed an intellectual property court claim in London against Lang, alleging that he has falsely claimed songwriting credits on four of her songs.

The dispute has been ongoing for several months, with Young's lawyers stating that "Carter's claims are strongly refuted and we will not allow Lola's reputation and integrity to be called into question." The lawyers emphasized that Young has "always been authentic in her songwriting process and acknowledges songwriting contributions where appropriate."

The case was filed just last week, on October 1st, 2025, one day after Young was forced to cancel all upcoming live performances following a stage collapse incident in New York. The songs in question have not been named at this time, but the legal battle is set to determine the rightful songwriting credits.

Carter Lang is a Grammy-winning songwriter and producer who has worked with several high-profile artists, including SZA, Justin Bieber, and Post Malone. He has credits on multiple songs from Young's recent albums, including her chart-topping hit "Messy."

As the legal proceedings unfold, the music industry and fans alike await the resolution of this dispute, which has the potential to impact the careers and reputations of both Lola Young and Carter Lang.
