He insists he co-created the song upon which "Lost" is based and "solely performed the lead synthesizer parts on 'Daylight' as well as piano and other parts." The lawsuit further states that in joint ownership of the track, Otano and producer Malay (also named in the suit) agreed on co-producer credit for it.
