Enrique Iglesias has recently been sued by two songwriters over stealing the lyrics of hit track 'Bailando.'
Cristian Escuti and German Schulz claimed that they cut a track called 'Quiero Bailar Contigo' back in 2009, TMZ.com reported.
They said that they sent it to a Sony exec in 2012 but never heard back. And then in 2014, the 39-year-old singer released 'Bailando,' which the songwriters claimed was a direct rip-off of their tune.
The 2 songwriters mentioned that the chorus line, melody, lyrics and rhythm were lifted from their song.
