During Blur's pre-Coachella warm-up gig at the Fox Theater Pomona in California, as retrieved via NME, the band’s frontman Damon Albarn addressed the issue of Americans attempting to claim songwriting credits for Song 2. Albarn revealed that multiple individuals had made such claims, prompting him to question the peculiar fascination with this particular track.

Albarn stated, “Because of the nature of American law if someone gets a lawyer… they can come quite a long way with absolutely no grounds. Someone else this year – not only is it that person who’s convinced they’d written it, but there was another person who was convinced. Firstly, I wonder why it’s only that song that they’re interested in.”
