"Live a Lie" comes off The Fallout, the debut album Canadian hard rockers Default released on October 2, 2001, a record that Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger helped steer from the production side. "Wasting My Time" and "Deny" were the album's two big radio hits, and this one keeps to the same heavy, radio-sized crunch.
Dallas Smith sings lead and wrote the lyrics on his own, while the music is shared among Smith, guitarist Jeremy James Hora, bassist Dave Benedict, drummer Danny Craig and Rick Parashar. The credits list just those four players: Hora on electric guitar, Benedict on electric bass, Craig behind the kit and Smith out front.
