On Lizzo’s breakthrough single, she flaunts her confidence after breaking up with an unfaithful lover. Despite coming out in 2017, “Truth Hurts” gained traction after being included in the 2019 Netflix film Someone Great, and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 2019.

Lizzo told People that she considered quitting music after the song came out, but her family and collaborators encouraged her to continue with her career, allowing her to reap the benefits and watch the song become a hit.
