Upon release, Vera Blue explained how the track touches on falling in love after a rough break-up. saying, "When you go through a lot of emotional shit, you can't imagine yourself in a new relationship. Then you suddenly fall into one, and the fear and mistrust can be overwhelming: 'is this as amazing as it seems – or is it going to blow up in my face again?'"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/vera-blue-shares-first-track-of-the-year-lie-to-me-2730503|title= Vera Blue shares first track of the year, 'Lie To Me'|website=[[NME]]|date=20 August 2020|access-date=25 July 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/vera-blue-single-lie-to-me-15982/|title= Vera Blue Unveils New First New Single of 2020, "Lie to Me"|website=[[Rolling Stone Australia]]|date=20 August 2020|access-date=25 July 2022}}</ref>
Furthermore, Vera Blue told [[Triple J]] the song is about "The beauty of falling in love but also the anxieties and fears of rejection that come with falling in love if you've been through past traumas or had your heart broken. The lyric 'lie to me' isn't necessarily aimed at anyone – it's a conversation with myself. It's the paranoia and little voices in my head."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/vera-blue-new-single-lie-to-me-interview-premiere/12578082|title= First Spin: Vera Blue spins paranoia into romance on 'Lie To Me'|website=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]]|date=20 August 202o|access-date=15 July 2022}}</ref>
