Avalon’s “how to lie” arrives as one of the most affecting singles of her young catalog — an intimate, unguarded piece of songwriting that immediately stakes its claim as an emotional standout. Written in the moment of heartbreak and captured with remarkably honest vocals, the song feels less like a performance and more like a confession shared between friends.
From the fragile opening to the nuanced production that supports every tremor in her voice, Avalon balances vulnerability with craft. The lyrics unwrap the complexity of loving someone who doesn’t reciprocate fully, and she delivers them with a sincerity that’s rare in alt-pop right now.
This isn’t just another breakup track — it’s a quiet anthem for anyone who’s ever given more than they received, and Avalon has turned that universal feeling into something deeply personal and unforgettable.
