The Australian singer-songwriter Vera Blue released "Lie to Me" on 20 August 2020 through Island Records Australia and Universal Music Australia. Andrew Macken produced it and wrote it with Thomas Macken and Celia Pavey, and it's about falling for someone new after a bruising break-up, when the rush comes knotted up with fear, mistrust and the dread that it's all about to go wrong again. It's a love song with its guard up.
She told Triple J that the song holds both the beauty of falling in love and the fear of rejection that trails heartbreak and old trauma, and that the title isn't really aimed at anyone else: it's her talking to herself, the paranoid little voices in her own head. Onil Kotian directed the video, which followed on 8 September 2020.
