Melanie Herrera has released her new single, "I Think I Lied." Remembering back on the different memories once shared with a partner, Herrera looks at a past connection with nostalgia and regret. With a want of no-contact by Herrera herself, she now looks at the memories with a want for her ex-partner back. Throughout the verses, Herrera reflects back on memories that get brought up by different experiences, like going to a coffee shop her and her ex-partner would go to. When looking back with a romantic lens, "I Think I Lied" captures the longing of wanting a partner back after reminiscing on memories.
"I Think I Lied" is a master class put on by Herrera in capturing the feeling of wanting an ex back, but not knowing how to exactly act on it. The feelings deeply relatable, as when looking back on places or photos that spark memories and give us joy, we want to relive it, even if it's only a small piece of us. There's an essence of contradiction that I also think it really cool, as the upbeat production and Herrera's lyrics that are full of regret contradict each other. It feels as if this song plays in the background when the main character realizes that they do want to be with the romantic interest after they got into a fight and start developing a plan to do so. Overall, Herrera's newest single is not one to miss, as "I Think I Lied" falls right between cinematic and relatable.
