Demi Lovato's name has been brought into a major copyright lawsuit surrounding the Frozen song 'Let It Go'.

Singer Jaime Ciero is suing Lovato along with Disney and Idina Manzel over the movie's signature hit - the fifth biggest-selling song of 2013 - claiming it ripped off his 2008 song 'Volar'.

Demi sang the single version released with the soundtrack while actress Idina Manzel performed the version that features in the Disney film.

Hey, Fonsi
Oh, no
¿Qué pasa Demi?
Mmm
Hey, yeah

Tengo en esta historia algo que confesar
Ya entendí muy bien que fue lo que pasó
Y aunque duela tanto tengo que aceptar
Que tú no eres la mala, que el malo soy yo

No me conociste nunca de verdad
Ya se fue la magia que te enamoró
Y es que no quisiera estar en tu lugar
Porque tu error solo fue conocerme

No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (Soy yo)
No te quiero hacer sufrir, es mejor olvidar y dejarlo así (Así)
Échame la culpa

No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (Soy yo)
No te quiero hacer sufrir, es mejor olvidar y dejarlo así (Así)
Échame la culpa

Ok, I don't really, really wanna' fight anymore
I don't really, really wanna' fake it no more
Play me like The Beatles, baby, just let it be
So come on put the blame on me, yeah

I don't really, really wanna' fight anymore
I don't really, really wanna' fake it no more
Play me like The Beatles, baby, just let it be
So come on put the blame on me

No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (Soy yo)
No te quiero hacer sufrir, es mejor olvidar y dejarlo así (Así)
Échame la culpa

No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (Soy yo)
No te quiero hacer sufrir, es mejor olvidar y dejarlo así (Así)
Échame la culpa

Solamente te falta un beso, solamente te falta un beso
Ese beso que siempre te prometí
Échame la culpa

Solamente te falta un beso, solamente te falta un beso
Ese beso que siempre te prometí
Échame la culpa

Ok, I don't really, really wanna' fight anymore
I don't really, really wanna' fake it no more
Play me like The Beatles, baby, just let it be
So come on put the blame on me, yeah

I don't really, really wanna' fight anymore
I don't really, really wanna' fake it no more
Play me like The Beatles, baby, just let it be
So come on put the blame on me

No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (Soy yo)
No te quiero hacer sufrir,
Es mejor olvidar y dejarlo así (Así, así, así)
Échame la culpa

No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (Soy yo)
No te quiero hacer sufrir, es mejor olvidar y dejarlo así (Así)
Échame la culpa

Solamente te falta un beso, solamente te falta un beso
Ese beso que siempre te prometí
Échame la culpa

Solamente te falta un beso, solamente te falta un beso
Ese beso que siempre te prometí
Échame la culpa

TMZ have broken the news, revealing that Ciero believes his song and the Disney hit share "note combinations, structures, hooks, melodies, lyrics, themes, production and textures."

'Volar' was released five years before 'Let It Go' featured in the animated blockbuster, which earned over 1 billion dollars at the box office worldwide.

If Ciero wins the case then he would make millions upon millions as TMZ report he "wants profits from the movie, the music, the marketing... you name it."

With so much bank potential, we're not surprised the singer's refusing to, er, let it go but we'll have to wait for the outcome to see if he's successful or not.

It'll be interesting to see how this would impact the Broadway musical version of Frozen that is currently in the works for a 2018 launch because we can't imagine the story without 'Let It Go' in it.

Perhaps they could put Demi's 'Sorry Not Sorry' in its place to avoid any future controversy...

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back, and slam the door

The snow blows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in
Heaven knows I tried

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl, you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door

And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all
Up here in the cold, thin air I finally can breathe
I know I left a life behind, but I'm too relieved to grieve

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back, and slam the door

And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

Standing frozen in the life I've chosen
You won't find me, the past is so behind me
Buried in the snow

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door

And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

Let it go, go, nah-nah
Here I stand
Let it go, let it go
Let it go
