"Lie to Me" is a song by British singer and songwriter HRVY. It was released independently on April 10, 2026 through Warrior Music, as the lead single from his upcoming fourth extended play, Bliss.
Background and release "Lie to Me" was written by Harvey Cantwell, Chelsea Balan and Hampus Lindvall in Sweden, with Lindvall serving as the track's producer. Sonically, the track presents elements of synth-pop and electronic percussion, with an upbeat tempo. Lyrically, Cantwell stated in the single's press release that the song is about "that moment when you know the truth, but part of you still wants to believe the illusion", and described it "one of the most honest songs I've written, it reflects real experiences and emotions I went through."
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Cantwell said of the track:
It was released on April 10, 2026, alongside an accompanying lyric video. The song marks Cantwell first release since his 2025 collaboration with Ferris Pier "Summer Nights in Tokyo", and his first solo release in two years since "Magic" in 2024.
Reception The song received positive reviews. Lottie Webber of Music Is To Blame praised the track for its "breezy" and "danceable" sound, describing it as "a perfect song for the spring." Culture Fix also praised the song, highlighting Cantwell's "impressive" and "emotive" vocal performance, and Lindvall's "summer-ready crowd-pleaser" production, stating that it "truly welcomes HRVY back to the pop scene with a bang". OutInPerth included the song on their latest "releases worth checking out" list, calling the track "charmingly sweet".
