Alicia Keys’ Sued For Copyright Infringement; New Single ‘Brand New Me’

Songwriter Earl Shuman is suing Alicia Keys for copyright infringement over her hit song “Girl On Fire.” Also check out the video for her new single, ‘Brand New Me.’

In a lawsuit filed in California last week, Shuman claims “Girl On Fire” sounds a little too familiar to the song “Hey There Lonely Girl,” which he co-wrote and was recorded by Eddie Holman. He believes there is a likeness between the songs and that several entertainment bloggers have picked up on.

Meanwhile, Keys puts out her next single and emotional “Brand New Me.” Keys says the song is about finding bravery and letting go and being herself.
