She’s written songs for Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez and more, but Julia Michaels is a force on her own. She’s just released her brand new single “Lie Like This”. Speaking to Apple Music, Michaels says the breathy and effervescent club-pop track — produced by her fellow industry mainstays the Monsters & Strangerz — is our first taste of her first full-length album: “I really want to make a simple, beautiful 10 song album, and I’m pretty close to that.”
In a statement Michaels spoke about the new single saying; “It’s about being hesitant about this new, beautiful thing and just giving in anyway, because you know that it’s really special. There are so many spectrums of love. One minute, you’re crying on the floor because you’ve been broken up with or something didn’t work out the way that you wanted to. Then, all of a sudden, you’re kissing in a park and you’re holding hands with someone new and you’ve got all these butterflies. It’s just such a broad spectrum, such a range of emotions — love — and I wanted to distill its essence into a song.”
