You're a Lie

This is the first single from Slash's second album, Apocalyptic Love. The album was produced by Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Taking Back Sunday), and features Slash's touring band: vocalist Myles Kennedy (who also plays rhythm guitar), drummer Brent Fitz and bassist Todd Kerns. The song was released to radio on February 27, 2012.

Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy provides vocals on all 13 tracks from the record, having featured on two of the songs from Slash's previous solo album - "Starlight" and "Back From Cali."

The song finds Myles Kennedy telling a story of betrayal. Slash commented on the songwriting process for Apocalyptic Love comparing it with his eponymous previous release: "Myles and I basically collaborated on the new material. The main thing is we wrote these songs together which is a big difference from the last album where I wrote each song with all of the different collaborators. The whole creative nucleus is between Myles and me. On top of this, the whole rhythm section of Brent and Todd brings something to the table and changes the dynamic completely from the last record - it's much more cohesive."
