A lawsuit filed against H.E.R, as well as DJ Camper, Justin Love and Sony Music Entertainment, over the 2016 song Focus has reached a settlement, Billboard has learned. The complaint, which was filed in the US District Court in Southern New York in June 2020, alleged that the song Focus intentionally infringed upon Andre Sims’ original composition Endless Minds without receiving his consent or giving him compensation. Sims, a songwriter and piano player who has worked with artists like Stevie Wonder, created the song in 2004, posted it on Instagram and YouTube in 2015.
