Lizzo’s famous one-liner that opens her hit song “Truth Hurts,” which debuted in 2017 and has recently spent numerous weeks on the U.S. charts, may not be hers to boast. The singer has now been hit a second time with a plagiarism claim regarding the catchphrase.
Songwriter Justin Raisen went to Instagram to declare he wrote the lyric for a different 2017 Lizzo song, “Healthy.” In the lengthy caption, he states he and his fellow songwriters, including his brother Jeremiah Raisen, were never contacted about using what they had created for “Healthy” in “Truth Hurts,” instead. Along with explaining his side of the story, he accompanied the caption with a video comparing the two songs. The unreleased song has a similar melody and is sung in a different key.
In February 2018, Lioness stated she originally tweeted out what would become famous lyrics back in 2017. “I did a DNA test and found out I’, 100 percent that b—-.”
“Everyone believes those were your words, when in fact they were mine. My creativity, my wit and my comedy,” she tweeted at the “Good as Hell” singer. The 31-year-old tweeted back to Lioness stating she had never seen the original tweet before and was inspired by a meme.
