Pale Waves have released a new track called โLiesโ from their upcoming third album, โUnwanted.โ In August, the sequel to โWho Am I?โ from 2021 will be released.
The band has released the albumโs first track, โLies,โ which was initially teased last month, to coincide with the announcement.
The trio teased two videos on their official TikTok account, with the chorus of the song playing over the videos (โYou called it love, but it never had a feeling/ Ripped out my heart and left me bleedingโ).
Producer Zakk Cervini, who has worked with Blink-182, Halsey, and Machine Gun Kelly, worked on the track in Los Angeles. It has a ripping pop-punk soundtrack and crunchy guitars.
โโLiesโ is about someone who built up my trust and then shattered it like a wrecking ball,โ Heather Baron-Gracie, the bandโs frontwoman, said of the song. โIt generated a lot of trust issues, but thankfully that person is no longer in my life.โ Youโll be gone if you offend me!โ
โIt was basically the only thing this album could be labeled,โ Baron-Gracie stated of the new album โUnwanted.โ Itโs unabashed and bold, which is exactly what the Pale Waves community is all about. We donโt have to fit into a perfect mold, we donโt have to apologize for being ourselves, and we wonโt change just to please others. That acceptance is what binds us together.โ
