World-famous British singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran won a U.K. High Court copyright lawsuit over his 2017 hit song Shape of You.

On Wednesday, a judge ruled Sheeran, 31, had not plagiarized the work of another British performer, Sami Chokri, who accused Sheeran of stealing the melody from his 2015 song Oh Why.

Chokri, who performs under the name Sami Switch, claimed the “Oh, I” melodic hook in Sheeran’s Shape of You was “strikingly similar” to the “Oh, why” portion of his own song.

Shape of You was the U.K.’s best-selling song of 2017 and is Spotify’s most-streamed song ever. The British pop star and his co-writers, Snow Patrol’s John McDaid and producer Steven McCutcheon, denied the allegations from Chokri.
