Lizzo has reached an agreement to resolve a copyright infringement case linked to a track that was never officially released for sale.
Back in October, legal representatives for The GRC Trust brought a lawsuit against Lizzo and her record label Atlantic Records over the song I'm Goin' In Till October, also known as Good Jeans, which gained huge traction on TikTok and Instagram during the summer of 2025.
The claim alleged that Lizzo had lifted both musical and vocal components from their copyrighted song Win or Lose (We Tried) without securing permission.
This week, a filing submitted to federal court confirmed that lawyers for The GRC Trust and the Juice singer have agreed to what they described as a "settlement in principle." As reported by Rolling Stone, the legal team said they plan to submit paperwork within 60 days to dismiss the case with prejudice, which would prevent it from being reopened.
No information about the terms of the agreement has been made public.
In their original filing, attorneys for The GRC Trust said attempts were made by both sides to negotiate the use of the original composition, but those talks failed to result in an agreement. They claimed Lizzo knowingly used protected material for commercial benefit without securing a licence and asked for financial damages as well as an order to stop further use of the song.
At the time, a spokesperson for the Grammy winning artist responded in a statement, saying, "We are surprised that The GRC Trust filed this lawsuit. To be clear, the song has never been commercially released or monetised, and no decision has been made at this time regarding any future commercial release of the song."
Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, has previously dealt with a plagiarism dispute involving her hit Truth Hurts, with both sides reaching a confidential settlement in 2022.
In 2023, she was also named in multiple lawsuits brought by former employees who accused her of sexual and racial harassment, weight shaming and fostering a hostile work environment. She denied every allegation.
A judge later turned down her request to have a case filed by three former backup dancers thrown out. While claims related to fat shaming and disability discrimination were dismissed, some allegations of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment were allowed to move forward.
