G:son and Henrik Sethsson's song for theEurovision Song Contest 2001, "Listen to Your Heartbeat", was accused of plagiarism fromBelgium's1996 entry "Liefde is een kaartspel". The songwriters denied the accusation, but after the Belgian songwriters and the author's organisationSABAM pressed for legal action, a cash settlement was agreed.^[3][4]
