Ed Sheeran Responds to $100 Million Lawsuit Over Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On,” Says He Did Not Copy The Song

Back in June, Ed Sheeran was hit with a $100 million lawsuit for allegedly using Marvin Gaye’s 1973 smash hit “Let’s Get It On” for his 2014 song “Thinking Out Loud.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The suit came two years after the English singer was sued by a co-writer of the same song, who claimed Sheeran jacked the melody, harmony, and other rhythmic components of the classic Gaye track. 

However, in the new suit, filed by Structured Asset Sales, which owns a third of the copyright to the song, Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” has the “same melody, rhythms, harmonies, drums, baseline, backing, chorus, tempo, syncopation, and looping as ‘Let’s Get It On’,” TMZ reported. 

But now, in Sheeran’s response to the accusations, the singer maintains there is no similarity between the two songs. 

In docs obtained by The Blast, Sheeran says, simply, his song “is not actually similar to LGO.” But, if there were any possible similarities between the two, he says they are based on “common themes in music,” which are not “distinctive to Gaye’s music.”

As a result, Sheeran is planning to file a motion to dismiss the case, altogether.
