Cheryl Cole In Royalty Battle

Cheryl Cole has been caught up in a legal battle over royalty payments from her hit track Fight For This Love.

The Girls Aloud singer and bosses at her Sony/AVT publishing company have been targeted in a lawsuit from a songwriter who claims to have worked on her chart-topping hit.

The suit, filed by Peermusic publishers in the U.S., is seeking a slice of the profits from the track, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.
