Lies Was Used As Part 10 Of 'The Archetypes' And Is A 'Housewife' Song Along With Su-Barbie-A And Valley Of The Dolls. In May 2011 Dr Luke Tweeted "@MarinasDiamonds Singing In The Booth !!!! Me Likey !!!" This Could Only Be For Lies As Primadonna Wasn't Written Until October And How To Be A Heartbreaker Even Later. Lies Was The First Song Marina Wrote With Dr Luke And Said It Made Her Understand The Process Of Co-Writing Because She Had The Verse For A Long Time And He Had Something Which Fit Together A Demo With A Heavily Autotuned Dr. Luke Leaked In 2021 This Is Likely To Be The Writing Demo Of Lies. Noticeably The Album Sampler Version Of The Song Has A Longer Instrumental Bridge. For Her Conan Live Performance And On The Final Leg Of The Lonely Hearts Club Tour Marina Sung A Bridge Suggesting That She Didn't Have The Lyrics In Time For The Album Release Causing It To Be Made Shorter. Diamandis Deemed Lies As A "personal Record" About A Boy Who Was A Coward And For Whom She Had No Respect. She Was Angry About What Happened Between Them So She Wrote "Lies" As A Form Of Release. Half Of The Track Was Written In The Home Of Bruce Springsteen While The Verse Was Written After A Gig In Stone Pony New Jersey.
