Today, GRAMMY-winning Country group The Band Perry share “You Lie (Forever Version), a revamped rendition of their PLATINUM-certified smash “You Lie” featuring breakout singer/songwriter Kaitlin Butts. Accompanied by an official visualizer, the all-new version of “You Lie” brings a bold and heightened urgency to one of The Band Perry’s signature hits. Go here to listen to “You Lie (Forever Version)” now, and check out the visualizer here.

“I’ve admired Kaitlin’s music for so long, and there’s something so full-circle about a song that once lived between us as strangers on the radio now living between us as friends,” shares Kimberly Perry. “This is what it sounds like when girlhood becomes womanhood — same song, same spirit, but now we’ve both lived it enough to sing it like we mean it!”

The high-powered update of “You Lie” is the latest in a series of electrifying new songs from The Band Perry, who returned in early 2026 with “PSYCHOLOGICAL” — a February release that marked their first new music in nine years. Now comprised of Kimberly Perry and Johnny Costello, the Tennessee-bred group made their debut in 2010 with The Band Perry, a PLATINUM-certified album featuring “You Lie” as the opening track. Written by Brian Henningsen, Clara Henningsen, and Aaron Henningsen, “You Lie” quickly became a cornerstone of The Band Perry’s catalog, presenting a scathing but spirited story of a woman pushed well past her breaking point by an unfaithful partner.

Produced by Beau Bedford (Wyatt Flores, Orville Peck), the newly reimagined “You Lie” embodies an even greater intensity, thanks in part to its unbridled sound and the inspired addition of Butts — a Tulsa-born artist whose acclaimed output includes her 2024 concept album Roadrunner!. In a departure from the original’s rootsy arrangement, the reinvented track layers in lusher textures and gritty electric guitar work, magnifying the pure ferocity of Perry’s vocals as she fires off the song’s brilliantly biting lyrics (from the chorus: “You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man’s floor / And you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch / The way you lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store / It just comes way too natural to you / The way you lie”). After Perry and Butts tear through the verses, their voices collide in a cathartic exchange at the bridge — ultimately turning the song’s tale of deception into a shared display of reclaimed power.

 

With a new album on the way, the revitalized version of “You Lie” arrives on the heels of “Kill It” — a May release that continues the romantic-goth saga launched with the gloriously unhinged “PSYCHOLOGICAL.” 

Last month, The Band Perry’s captivating live performance of their DIAMOND-certified hit “If I Die Young” aired as part of “CMA Fest presented by SoFi,” a concert television special spotlighting the most memorable moments from this year’s CMA Fest. After its primetime ABC broadcast on June 25, “CMA Fest presented by SoFi” began streaming on Hulu the following day. Go here to watch “CMA Fest presented by SoFi” now. Giving fans another chance to relive one of the festival’s standout moments, listen to the live audio of “If I Die Young” on all digital streaming platforms here.

During their stacked CMA Fest week, The Band Perry performed at Nissan Stadium, Billboard Country Live, SiriusXM The Highway’s Music Row Happy Hour, and Spotify House, lighting up each stage with their enthralling live show. Earlier this year, the group set off on the Psycho Rodeo Tour — a U.S. headline run that continues next Wednesday and Thursday (July 15 and 16) with back-to-back headline dates at The Backyard Country BBQ in Fairbanks, AK.
