Singer Enrique Iglesias is accused of theft over his 2014 hit song Bailando. The song is reportedly copied from the song Quiero Bailar Contigo.
Songwriters Cristian Escuti and German Schulz claimed they recorded a track in 2009 under the name of Quiero Bailar Contigo, reports TMZ.
The songwriters didn't register a copyright of the song. They then sent Quiero Bailar Contigo to a Sony executive in 2012. However, they reportedly didn't hear anything back from the studio, following which Enrique's Bailando was released.
The songwriters reportedly revealed Sony partially owns Quiero Bailar Contigo. They were specifically concerned with the chorus line, melody, lyrics and rhythm of Bailando, which has been allegedly taken off from Quiero Bailar Contigo.
TMZ claimed they have asked him for a copy of the 2009 song, but Mr Trueba reportedly declined under the request of his clients.
Enrique's song has so far earned 686 million views on video-sharing website YouTube and is believed to be his popular song of his album Sex and Love. The song has been at number one spot on Billboard's Hot Latin songs chart for 39 weeks now.
