🔗 Share this article Singer Lola Young engaged in Legal Dispute with Producer of Her Chart-Topping Song Singer Lola Young has initiated legal action versus one of the producers behind her hit single Messy over a disagreement regarding composition credits. The UK vocalist has filed an intellectual property legal case targeting Carter Lang, as stated by her attorneys claiming she had "no option" following he claimed songwriting credits on four from her catalog, which she "firmly denies". The producer from the United States and songwriter has not yet responded. The legal action was filed in London for Young and her music publisher on Wednesday. It happened shortly after she cancelled all performances "for the foreseeable future", after a fainting episode during a performance in New York. Breakthrough Success The young artist rose to stardom toward the conclusion of the previous year when Messy gained viral fame. It stayed a month at number one and ranks as the second most-streamed song of 2025 so far in the UK. Legal Statement "Amid great regret, particularly considering recent developments, that we have had no alternative other than respond to recent assertions of authorship from Carter Lang concerning several Lola Young songs by filing a lawsuit for her." "These allegations are vigorously contested and we will not allow her good name and principles to be doubted - particularly so long after the recording sessions and deals were finalized." "She has consistently been genuine in her songwriting process and acknowledges co-writing efforts when due." "This dispute has been ongoing for quite some time and we look forward to the reality being revealed." The artist's team declined to confirm which four tracks were part of the conflict. Professional Track Record Carter Lang serves as one of four producers involved in the hit single and also worked with the artist on various other tracks. He established himself through collaborations with R&B star the singer SZA and is now among the most sought-after producers and songwriters in the industry, working with big names including Post Malone, the pop star, the actress-singer and Rosé.
