After canceling her tour for mental health reasons, popular pop singer Lola Young has filed a court claim against musician Carter Lang over songwriting credits on four of her songs. The dispute has been ongoing for months, with Young strongly refuting Lang’s claim to writing credits. Lang collaborated with Young on her breakthrough single “Messy” and four songs from her latest album, “I’m Only F—ing Myself.” Young gained mainstream attention last year with “Messy,” which became popular on TikTok before climbing the charts. The 24-year-old singer recently submitted “Messy” for consideration at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
Meanwhile, Lang, known for his work with R&B star SZA, is a sought-after producer and writer who has collaborated with top artists like Post Malone, Justin Bieber, and more. Young’s claim comes in the midst of her decision to step back from performing to focus on her well-being after collapsing onstage during a festival in New York.
The singer expressed her need to take a break and apologized to her fans for canceling upcoming events, promising to return stronger after working on herself. Young’s hope is to receive a second chance from her fans once she is in a better place mentally.
