The song "Changing the Locks" consisted of Liggio's composition and the original vocal from Jones and R&B artist Ashanti.

Liggio was given a co-author and producer credit in the liner notes, but he claims that he was never contacted by Jones

Liggio, who has worked with artists like Jay-Z, Ludacris and Mary J. Blige, is alleging copyright infringement and constructive trust. He asks that the court determine the how much money Jim Jones might have made on the song.

Liggio wants $150,000 for the use of the copyrighted composition and $150,000 for use of the copyrighted sound recording, in addition to attorneys' fees and costs.
