There has been a lot of rumours about this song's copyright issues, on Leona's Twitter she said:
"With regards to my song, avicii was aware & agreeing publishing splits for himself and his manager When avicii sent his track out to have a song written over it I totally fell in love with this version and i think he's super talented x "
Avicii stated on his Twitter:
"To answer everyone, the first time I heard Leona Lewis Collide was today. I didn’t produce it and neither me or my manager could approve it… I’m just upset for someone taking credit of our idea before I had a chance to release it…To be clear im not taking credit for the melody (everything was cleared with penguin cafe orchestra and simon jeffes who wrote the song). And for the time and effort that has been put into this by my manager and label"
In August 2011, an agreement was made without the case ending up in court.
A statement from Leona's label Syco said: "It is announced today that Leona Lewis and Avicii will work together on the forthcoming single Collide."
Avicii wrote on his Twitter page: "Glad to have finally resolved situation with Leona. So happy to move on with Leona and focus on having a hit together."

The lyrics to "Collide" by Leona Lewis/Avicii (Afrojack Remix) are all about love, support and unity. The song is a message to a loved one that no matter what they may be going through, the singer will always be there to pick them up when they're down, be there when no one else is, and provide a stable presence throughout life's changes. The singer assures the listener that they are in tune with their feelings and that their relationship is authentic and true. In a world where everything can feel uncertain, the singer wants their loved one to know that they can always count on them and that they will always "crash" into each other at full speed, no matter what life may bring.
The chorus is a call to action, encouraging the listener to "crash" into the singer at full speed, allowing them to collide with each other and become unstoppable. The repetition of the phrase "we can collide" emphasizes the importance of unity and the strength that comes from being together. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of love and the power it has to overcome any obstacle.

2023 and still here. Leona Lewis has so much talent it’s insane. I wish she was into making music again. I miss when she dominated the charts and broke records. One of the best vocalists of our time ❤
@RishiPatel15
Love how this is ageing nicely. Sounds better in 2020 than it did back then
@ArmpitOfEurope
This is SO true. Glassheart ( Leonas album ) was ahead of its time!
@RishiPatel15
@Spell TV definitely, Shake You Up and Sugar sound so good these days. Even When It Hurts
@ArmpitOfEurope
@Rishi Patel the whole album sounds current! On the contrary to " I am " album 😁
@kevinlongman007
Sounded great back then too.
