After making her debut last year with the song ‘Runaway’, SARA now returns with her third single, ‘White Lie’. This high-energy track delves into the complexity of love and desperation, capturing the struggle of holding on when you know you shouldn’t. With its explosive sound and raw emotion, ‘White Lie’ marks SARA as an artist to watch.
‘White Lie’ delivers an electrifying listening experience, blending early 2000s pop-punk energy with the polished and modern pop-rock production of Grammy-winner Chris Sclafani, known for his work with artists like Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez, and Halsey. The song starts with a simple yet striking guitar riff that immediately highlights SARA’s vocal talent and the emotional depth of her lyrics.
Lyrically, the track paints a vivid picture of emotional conflict. SARA sets the tone right from the start: “I’ve bared my heart to the devil / To get on your level / And sell my soul for good.” She continues this narrative in the second verse: “Burning together in flames / While playing your games / For a prize of empty praise.” These lyrics highlight the song’s themes of self-sacrifice and disillusionment in love.
The bridge delivers one of the most powerful moments: “Feeling dirt cheap. In my own currency / Selling myself to everyone else / Cause who am I / If I‘m not here to please.” This raw introspection leads into a chorus that begins with isolated vocals, adding depth and contrast before launching into an electrifying climax. The song’s final moments fade out beautifully, leaving a lingering emotional impact.
SARA’s background in acting and modelling brings an extra layer to her artistry, which shines through in her ‘White Lie’ release. The emotional snippets she’s shared on social media have captured attention, with the campaign highlighting female rage while blending mystery and allure. This creates a powerful atmosphere that perfectly matches the song’s dark, moody tones. SARA has doubled her TikTok following in just two weeks as she builds a strong connection with her audience. Through engaging content, she shows that being an artist is not just about making music—it’s about creating a community and meaningful connections with her listeners.
‘White Lie’ is the song you’ll want to scream at the top of your lungs, whether you’re heartbroken or just need an excuse to let it all out. With her third release, SARA is just getting started. More music is on the horizon, and with each new track, she invites fans deeper into her story.
