BTS's agency, Big Hit Music, has broken its silence on a copyright lawsuit involving the group's hit song "Swim," denying the allegations and calling the claims "unilateral and unsubstantiated."Big Hit Music has denied allegations that BTS' hit song "Swim" infringed on the copyright of an unreleased demo by three American songwriters.
According to reports by Music Business Worldwide (MBW) and The Korea Herald, US songwriters Steve Cooper, Jon Sandler, and Greylyn Johnson filed a copyright infringement lawsuit before the US District Court for the Central District of California.
The complaint alleges that "Swim," the lead single from BTS' album Arirang, bears substantial similarities to a demo of the same title that the three writers created in early 2025.
