Kimberly Perry and Kaitlin Butts Revisit a Decade-Old Hit with a Fresh Duet

Kimberly Perry, best known as the frontwoman of The Band Perry, has teamed up with rising country star Kaitlin Butts for a new take on the group's early breakout track. The reworked version, titled "You Lie (Forever Version)," breathes new life into a song that first appeared on The Band Perry's 2010 self-titled debut album.

The original "You Lie" opened that album with a sharp indictment of a dishonest lover. Musicianvoice.com described it as "an indictment of a fibbing lover." Now, sixteen years later, the song gets a collaborative spin that brings together two charismatic country performers, according to Rolling Stone.
