I Lied is a song by Fifth Harmony included in their second studio album, 7/27, which debuted on May 27, 2016.
Critical Response[]
""I said I love you / Boy I lied," the girls admit on this slower number, which centres around those high-pitched squiggles Diplo and Skrillex like to use. Their echoed vocals sound a little ghostly too, adding drama to the electronic spectacle. "Love never got me this high," they add – and we don't really want them to come down when it sounds this good.", according to Lewis Corner of Digitalspy.
"Lauren’s opening verse sets the tone for this tune that fits in with the upbeat, dance tracks off of the album. The effects add a nice touch to the sassy love song.”I said I loved you but I lied.” The fast tempo and fierce lyrics make this a solid tune from the girls.", according to Brittany Goldfield Rodrigues of ANDPOP.
Lyrics[]
Lauren:
It's crazy how that four letter word gets tossed
And I'm guilty, said it so many times before
But I can't front no more
Lauren (with Ally):
You're the only one that's showing me the (real)
You're the only one that's giving me these (chills)
No ex in the past could open up my (eyes)
Thought I found the one every time
Camila:
I've said I love you, but I lied
Cause love never got me this high
I've said I love you, but I lied
Cause everything's different this time
Normani:
Oh, no!
Camila (Fifth Harmony):
I've said I love you, but I lied
Cause love never got me this high
It'd be foolish if they thought they could get me back
No-oh, no-na, yeah
See, the truth is (Truth is) you can't lose what you never had
And you got me so bad
Lauren & Normani (with Ally) (Ally ad-libs):
You're the only one that's showing me the (real)
You're the only one that's giving me these (chills) (Camila: Giving me these chills)
No ex in the past could open up my (eyes)
Thought I found the one every time
Camila (Normani):
I've said I love you, but I lied
