November 28Nov 28 There was a rock band who had a few hits in the early noughties called Haven so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the next point of contention.

November 29Nov 29 I will say that the more I hear it the more it burrows into my brain. I won't take back the "boring" comment I made previously though as it is a VERY basic track. I can see why it's doing well though despite the controversy.
November 29Nov 29 I agree that it's basic as hell but it's really catchy, I've had it in my head a lot recently despite only hearing it a small handful of times. It's definitely towards the better end of basic for me.
November 29Nov 29 So Jorja Smith’s record label have had their say on it: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRm-uVXiKf-/?igsh=MWUwMGxhcXRxYW1xeQ==I can’t see that this controversy is going to go away particularly quickly!
November 29Nov 29 That is probably the most detailed and real explanation we've seen rather than there be anyone's "suggestion" of what happened. It makes more sense now having seen that and the circumstances around what happened. I will say that Jorja then herself did not help any matters by posting a video of herself miming to the track..

November 30Nov 30 Why is everything about this song a bit suspicious? Why is there now a duplicate version under “Micah’s Music”? Edited November 30Nov 30 by Pineapple_
December 1Dec 1 There’s a ton of other versions/covers appearing too - what’s happening?!HAVEN - I RUN (this is from a solo singer who’s been releasing under HAVEN for a while - might be why he’s changed to HAVEN. / potentially Micah’s Music)Bear Collective - I RUNJosh Fawaz - I RUN (Deep House)PL3X - I RUN (SPEED UP)DJ SHANKS - I RUNHMWME - I RUN
December 1Dec 1 You get a lot of random covers/remixes of popular songs all the time, the others were probably just trying to cash in on the confusion.
December 1Dec 1 Similar stuff also happened when both "Get Out My Head" and "Mwaki" became hits since both songs used royalty-free vocal packs.

Really felt that had the potential to be the dance equivalent of Rema - Calm Down.
December 1Dec 1 Down to #46 on Spotify today, but would be #8 without Christmas songs (SCR and 3 song rule also included in this).

December 2Dec 2 Spotify wiped around 16 million streams overnight in their monthly cleanup, which I assume were the disqualified streams.
December 5Dec 5 Defying both the Christmas rush and the mountainous amount of baggage it had to overcome, oh this song’s power
