There could be some big trouble coming for Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Ed Sheeran. Tim & Faith's new song "The Rest of Our Life" was written by Ed Sheeran, but two Australian songwriters claim he stole it from them.
They claim the song sounds almost identical to a song they wrote for an Australian singer, Jasmine Rae, in 2014 called "When I Found You."
Sheeran was touring Australia around the time that song was a big hit there. The lawsuit also alleges an agent of Sony Music Entertainment knew of the similarities but didn't say anything out of fear he'd lose his job.
I took a listen to both and I think Tim & Faith (or really their record label) will be paying a lot of money to those songwriters. It is such a blatant rip off. I'm posting both songs below. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Did they copy it? Or are they innocent.
