It took a while but a lawsuit alleging that James Arthur may have lifted “Say You Won’t Let Go” from The Script’s “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” was evidently filed today (Today being Monday, May 21, 2018) and hold on to your hats,  it’s Richard Busch for the plaintiffs, whom as I’ve said, nobody wants to see coming at them.

I recall taking a super quick look at this once before and thinking James Arthur would be okay, but Mr. Busch merits another look, that’s for sure. Check back tomorrow and I’ll have my horse selected.
