British pop star Dua Lipa is facing lawsuits in two separate U.S. courts after other artists accused her of copying from their songs for her hit "Levitating."

Songwriters Sandy Linzer and L. Russell Brown said Friday in Manhattan federal court that Lipa's song copies the "signature melody" of their 1979 song "Wiggle and Giggle All Night."

Florida group Artikal Sound System on Tuesday sued Lipa in Los Angeles federal court, claiming "Levitating" copies from their song "Live Your Life."
