Mariah Carey Faces a $20 Million Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Over ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’

Musician Andy Stone sued Mariah Carey for $20 million in a California court Monday, alleging her popular holiday song “All I Want for Christmas is You” infringed on his copyright.

Stone, the lead vocalist of Vince Vance and the Valiants, co-wrote his song — also titled “All I Want for Christmas is You” — in 1989. Stone accused Carey and her team of copying his song’s “compositional structure,” according to the complaint obtained by Fox News Digital.

Carey “directly” copied lyrics from Stone’s 1989 hit and “approximately 50%” of the song is copyright infringement, the court docs stated.
