"Josh Stone, who performs as DOT, wrote and recorded "You Need I Got It" in 2017. He alleges that he took the song to music industry executives, including producer Tommy Brown, who has worked extensively with Grande.
The suit accuses Brown of lifting key elements of Stone's song for Grande's "7 Rings." Grande's song includes the repeating line: "I Want It, I Got It. I Want It, I Got It." While Stone's song has the refrain: "You Need It, I Got It. You Want It, I Got It."
