According to TMZ:
Three guys claim they wrote a song, “Caught Up” back in 2002. It’s about a man lost in love.
Usher recorded a song 2 years later called “Caught Up” … also about a man lost in love. It skyrocketed on the charts and was featured in his album, “Confessions.”
The 3 guys — Zacharia Edwards, Mitch Moses and Vince McClean — claim they played it for a honcho at Arista Records — Usher’s label — and the dude then played it for L.A. Reid.
The 3 guys never heard from Arista again, but 2 years later they heard the song on the radio. They’re suing for unspecified damages.
Welp… I guess that calls for a ‘Caught Up’ flashback…
