Ein gewisser Earl Swanson hat eine Copyright-Klage gegen MJJ Producitons, Sony Music, Cory Rooney und Timbaland eingereicht behauptend, dass Chicago eine Akupferung seines Songs "Come Home On the Move" aus dem Jahre 2002 ist. Immerhin taucht diesmal der tote Michael Jackson nicht als Beklagter auf. BTW wurde Chicago doch 1999 aufgenomen.
