In Hot Waters
Speaking of “The Rest of Our Life,” McGraw and Hill (who co-wrote the song with British artist Ed Sheeran) entered hot waters after the release of the single. Australian songwriters Sean Carey and Beau Golden sued Hill, McGraw, Sheeran (and his co-writers Johnny McDaid, Steve Mac and Amy Wadge) as their Hill/McGraw song “blatant[ly] copyed” their 2014 song “When I Found You,” which Jasmine Rae performed.
Ongoing
The lawsuit is still ongoing, with “Carey and Golden seeking an injunction, at least $5 million in damages, royalties moving forward and attorney fees”. However Ed Sheeran is asking that the judge to dismiss the case as he claims their case hold no merit. At this point, no decision has been made.
