so this is my first listen of this song by lucy. I really enjoyed the listen and thought her vocals were great on the song. I wish this was her first single... i just hope now they will get a great team (label) to get her songs up the chart.
i wonder if radio will embrace this, i hope they do. so its kinda weird having so many of the new female artists on the charts right now. i hope they all have a equal chance up the chart. though out of all of them with the songs right now i can only see cassadee's and Jana's having a top 20 or better..... COME ON RADIO GET THESE GIRLS UP THE CHARTS! :)

This sounds a little like a Faith Hill song from the early 2000s (the intro I find reminiscent of "If My Heart Had Wings" i.e.), but without the incredible vocal talent that Faith brought to her music, and "Lie a Little Better" also manages to sound even less country than any of her stuff did. It sounds to me more like a Radio Disney single than one made for country radio, which isn't too surprising since she shares a label responsible for those artists, past and present.
With hearing only this and her debut single, I'm largely unimpressed with what I've heard thus far and as much as I want to root for women on country radio, so far she's one of the ones I'd rather not see get a breakthrough (not that I think she will, anyway). There's a lot of other new girls on the scene who just blow Lucy out of the water imo.

This is a real good choice. If she had a better promoting team I'd say this would have a shot at top 10. It's very catchy, and I love the temp and instrumentation on this one. Hopefully radio will give this one a better chance.

I've been seeing this mentioned as a single on Twitter since the album came out, so I'm not surprised though it would not have been my choice as a follow up. I only enjoyed a few songs on her debut album, since it lacks vocally for me, just like as .indulgecountry mentioned above, making me enjoy it less. I still think this is better than You Sound Good To Me though. |

Hopefully radio will give this one a better chance. I'd look for them to partner with SOME label for promo, or hire the Bigger Picture free agents to work it since they worked the previous stuff. |

Does anyone know if this has an adds date yet? Don't know what they're waiting for, unless they're trying to avoid all the superstars releasing songs now.

I think tracks 2 through 6 on her album are the best I wish she chose one of those as single #2

Someone please help me - this reminds me SO much of some 80s pop-rock type song. Can't figure out which one it is. Driving me crazy.
But it's actually pretty good. Don't like her delivery of the hook, but everything else is really enjoyable, and it's far superior to You Sound Good to Me.

This song came on The Highway today, and I swear I thought it was "If My Heart Had Wings" for the first three seconds or so. Then I realized it was this song. I actually like this song much better than her debut, but the vocals are still a stumbling block for me. |

I actually like this song much better than her debut, but the vocals are still a stumbling block for me. I agree with much of this. I hear enough country in her voice, but the production is doing her no favors here. She also really needs to work on her phrasing and cadence. Not a bad song (miles better than her debut, which i thought was pretty bad), but there are a lot of other new females that I would rather see country radio embrace than Lucy. |
