Carrie Underwood Facing Lawsuit for Copying Another Singer-Songwriter's Material | Billboard News
Jun 20 2019
In a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court Wednesday (June 19), plaintiff Heidi Merrill claims she wrote and recorded an identically-titled track in 2016. She says she pitched her song to Underwood and her producer, Mark Bright, at a Nashville conference the following year with the idea that Underwood might use it as her next Sunday Night Football theme. But Bright responded through an assistant that he'd "have to pass."
