“Big Fat Lie” is the title track from Nicole Scherzinger from her second studio album, Big Fat Lie. Big Fat Lie is the only song on the album in which she is credited for as a co-writer. For this reason, it might be the most personal track on the record, as it is a narration of what seems to be of many sides of Nicole’s life.

The main behind the song is dealing with exposing the truth behind the feelings she’s cover and facing them.

Everything in the song is described under a two-sided mirror point of view: the verses are both lirically and sonically sung with anger, as Nicole puts out both the external big fat lie and the harsh truth.
Her feelings are perfectly accompanied by a hard, marching beat.

The prechorus instead breaks down the angry woman to an emotional girl who is constantly questioning herself and the reason for her sadness.
Here the music softens, changing the mood of the song and also Nicole’s perspective.

Both sides merge into one in a sweet but strong chorus where she admits of living behind a mask and invites people to dig under her cover to discover her true self.
