I wouldn't think she'd need to do that. It's more likely her management/record company if it even happens.

Song rights for "Smash Into You" were bought from the original artist, Jon McLaughlin, when it was originally titled "Smack Into You". She "re-tooled and re-worked" it, but Jon McLaughlin is still credited as main songwriter.

Correction -
Roger Friedman, who has long since held a malicious past with Beyoncé, created the controversy.
