After a light, poppy debut single (‘Hip to My Heart’) and a serious follow-up (‘If I Die Young’), The Band Perry will soon be releasing their third single, ‘You Lie.’ Written by another family trio, The Henningsens (made up of Aaron, Brian, Clara Henningsen), ‘You Lie’ is a good old fashioned break-up song about breaking Read More
