In January 2018, Del Rey revealed that she was embroiled in a lawsuit with Radiohead over similarities between her song "Get Free" and their breakout hit "Creep."
"It's true about the lawsuit," she tweeted. "Although I know my song wasn't inspired by 'Creep,' Radiohead feel it was and want 100 percent of the publishing — I offered up to 40 over the last few months but they will only accept 100. Their lawyers have been relentless, so we will deal with it in court."
Unfortunately for Del Rey, experts believe Radiohead has a legitimate case against Del Rey.
"I would say this case does cross the line," Bill Hochberg, an attorney at Greenberg Glusker, told Variety. "This Lana Del Rey song is way too close to what is a rather unusual set of chord changes and a very distinctive melody line." Attorney James Sammataro concurred, "I don't think you would offer 40 percent of your publishing if you believed the claim was frivolous."
As of February 2018, the case is still pending.
