Sued for copyright infringement…
But the song was never released commercially.

Lizzo is facing a new legal battle…she’s being sued for allegedly ripping off another artist’s song for one of her latest tracks that blew up on social media.
According to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ, the GRC Trust is going after Lizzo and her label, Atlantic Records, claiming the singer sampled and copied portions of an original composition, “Win or Lose (We Tried),” that she owns without permission.
GRC claims Lizzo’s 2025 release “I’m Goin’ In Till October,” also known as “Good Jeans,” was posted to TikTok and Instagram earlier this year and claims it lifts instrumental and vocal elements from their copyrighted work.
A rep for Lizzi told TMZ… “We are surprised that the GRC Trust has filed this lawsuit. To be clear, the song has never been commercially released or monetized, and no decisions have been made at this time regarding a future commercial release of the song.”
The lawsuit goes on to claim that the parties attempted to reach an agreement to sample the work, but were never able to reach an agreement.
The trust is suing Lizzo and her label for copyright infringement, claiming they knowingly used the composition for commercial purposes without paying for a license. The trust is seeking damages and an injunction blocking the exploitation of its song.
This isn’t the first controversial song for Lizzo… her 2019 hit “Truth Hurts” started an argument after the producers claimed to have co-written the song, while the singer Mina Lionne said Lizzo took her viral lyrics “100% that b*tch” from her 2017 tweet. Lizzo ultimately credited Mina.
