The lawsuit claims that Sheeran, without permission, took the rhythm, chord progression and other elements for his 2014 song"Thinking Out Loud" from"Let's Get It On," which Crump said has become a"cornerstone" in the American experience. Sheeran's attorney, Ilene Farkas, said Sheeran and co-writer Amy Wadge"independently created" the song"Thinking Out Loud."The defense referred to the chord progression and rhythm of"Thinking Out Loud" as"basic musical building blocks that no one can own" and said the rest of the alleged similarities"do not exist."
