'I have never heard of that song or the group 3LW.”
1989In 2017 songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler — who wrote music for the early-aughts R&B group 3LW — accused Swift of plagiarism. Per the allegations, Hall and Butler believe swifts song “Shake it Off” closely resembles their song “Playas Gon Play.”
As for the similar language used in Swift's “Shake It Off,” the singer believes it is a coincidence due to the popularity of the saying. “I recall hearing phrases about players' play and haters hate stated together by other children while attending school in Wyomissing Hills, and in high school in Hendersonville,” she wrote. “ These phrases were akin to other commonly used sayings like ‘don’t hate the playa, hate the game,’ ‘take a chill pill,’ and ‘say it, don’t spray it.
“Plaintiffs [Hall and Butler] could sue everyone who writes, sings, or publicly says ‘players gonna play’ and ‘haters gonna hate,” they wrote in attempts to dismiss the motion. “To permit that is unprecedented and cheats the public domain.” “The presence of versions of the two short public domain statements and two other tautologies in both songs..simply does not satisfy the extrinsic test,” they concluded.In a statement provided to Billboard, the duo’s lawyer, Marina Bogorad said, “all it asks is for the court to reverse itself because Swift is unhappy with the ruling.”
