Justin Timberlake will not be facing any legal action from anti-sexual violence charity Take Back The Night after an initial disagreement over the title of his new song.
The charity had originally written a letter to Timberlake, whose new song is also titled 'Take Back The Night', to inform him that he had used their name without permission.
Executive director of Take Back The Night, Katherine Koestner, had said the company were 'really shocked', but have now chosen to 'bow down gracefully'.
Speaking to BuzzFeed, Koestner said: "At this point, we're going to bow down gracefully, and accept that fighting this in court probably isn't the best use of anyone's time.
"It's best to focus on the mission, and his stated support is important to us. Mostly, it was shocking that an institution that goes back to 1973 went unnoticed by the likes of Justin Timberlake. It shows how much visibility we really need. I think the best possible outcome is that more people know about our cause."

Although JT admitted to only learning about the charity after the release of his single, he responded to Koestner's statements by saying he hopes the issue will bring more awareness for the anti-rape group.
He told Radar: "Neither my song nor its lyrics have any association with the organisation. As I've learned more about the Take Back The Night foundation, I'm moved by its efforts to stop violence against women, create safe communities and encourage respectful relationships for women - something we all should rally around.
"It is my hope that this coincidence will bring more awareness to this cause."
