Jelly Roll Releases Heavy-Hitting New Single “Liar”

Jelly Roll is back with another heater.

Fans of the Tennessee native have been waiting for this song since he debuted it at the ACM Awards and later played it at the Grand Ole Opry. Today, “Liar” hit streaming platforms as the second single off his forthcoming album. The upbeat tempo of this single is a perfect follow-up to his current Top 20 single, “I Am Not Okay,” which amplifies the message that it’s okay not to be okay.

“Liar” stays on theme with Jelly Roll’s mental health message. This song calls out the self-doubt and that voice in your head that makes you feel as though you are not good enough. Jelly Roll leaves the “Liar” as an elusive character, so it’s really up to the listener’s interpretation to see how it fits you. It could be that dooming voice in your head, or it could be the influence of a toxic person in your life.

“Sayin’ drink another whiskey

Pop another pill

Money makes you happy

Heaven isn’t real

You won’t find nobody to love

Because your heart’s too broke

Now I know”

Each verse moves into a powerful chorus when you realize that all these feelings of doubt or not being good enough are a hoax. Once you find that you are greater than these feelings and don’t need to rely on substances or alcohol to numb your feelings, you can find a higher power that can help guide you to a better place mentally.

“

You ain’t nothin but a liar

Yeah I walked right out the fire

Yeah you tried to keep me down

Tried to put me underground

But I’m only goin’ higher”

This single feels like a testament to Jelly Roll’s story. He found himself running with a bad crowd that led him down a path of crime and imprisonment. Later in life, he discovered that he was greater than his mistakes, and he truly “walked right out of the fire” and turned his life around.

Fire this one up if you need some self-motivation this Friday.
