he... he broke the forth wall

Ironically, I think this is the most I’ve ever related to a song.

Honestly I wouldn’t care if he’s writing a song about his actual feelings or not. If I find something relatable and he didn’t actually feel it, isn’t that even cooler that he can reach out and touch me anyway? Anyway this is a super cool song I’m getting it stuck in my head.

"I wrote a song about being broke," "Just wanted you all to relate to me," Oh, so he's calling us broke now? 😳🥺

COME THROUGH WITH THAT CINEMATOGRAPHY

will: turns out I’m kinda chaotic aha 😳 literally everyone: WE! STAN!

I've been a fan for over three years and it was only a little while ago that I found out that Will has been writing songs for NCT 127!!!

It's sounds like you've been feeling down on yourself for "not being authentic." But just like a painter can paint someone else, a singer can sing about someone else's situation. Long ago my English teacher told the class never to assume a poem was autobiographical (including ones in the first person). The "I" in a song or poem is the narrator, who may be a totally different than the artist. I don't think you should feel bad or guilty about producing songs that people needed or related to. :)

You’re such an underrated artist. You should be on everyone’s radios and playlists

I'm worried about you thinking you're a liar, songs don't necessarily have to describe your real you and for example you writing songs about not being in love while being in love irl didn't come off as a lie! Songs and their lyrics are at some point like fiction, I wouldn't call a writer a liar for writing a book where magic exists. Anyways, I loved the song and the visuals ruled, as always, I love your creativity!

"Even when I told you I've never been in love, I already was. I just wanted you all to relate to me." Hi Will! First of all, I love Never Been In Love (and this song, Lies!) and I'm aromantic--AKA, I've never been in love and I never will be, at least not romantically. But I don't mind if you have, because songs don't have to be about you (the singer/songwriter) to be *true*. Never Been In Love isn't true about your life, but it is true about mine and about a lot of other people. But with so many love songs (love songs are good, there's just a lot of them) it's nice to have a song that's not about that for once, you know? Like, I can listen to any Taylor Swift love song and it's a great song and I love it (same with breakup songs) but it's not about *me*. It's nice to have songs like Never Been In Love because I have a song *about me* and not make it all sad oh I wish I was in love blah-blah-blah. *The point* is, never in my life would I be able to write and produce and make a song about me not being in love. But you made that song *for* me, and when I found it and listened to and loved it (lol) I went *"This is a song about ME"* *Make songs that are fake and not about you. Make them about other people, people you don't even know, people who can't make songs. They can always be true about someone else.*

"Truth is I hate confrontation" I feel that so much. Also, something that never changes is the amazing choreography.

I'm so glad to see him progress through the years. From watercolors, carnival, and mashups to Lies like omg❣❣

time to scream *lie lie lie lie lie lie lies* for the rest of the cENTURY

"The poet is a pretender pretends so completely that even pretends it's pain the pain that he truly feels and the ones that read what he writes in the read pain feel well not the two that he had but the one that they don't have and like that in the rail track goes round, entertaining reason this train that is called the heart" This is a sloppy translation of "Autopsicografia", By Fernando Pessoa. I just immediately remembered this when I heard this song, and thought of putting it here. Hope my translation makes some sense.

damn will you are so damn cool

"Gangsta" was the first song I heard from Will Jay, and I appreciated the commentary and message. "Never Been In Love" was the reason I subscribed, because it felt like someone was finally saying it was okay for me to take my time. Tons of artists sing songs they don't particularly relate with because someone else wrote it, and they bought the rights. That doesn't make the song itself meaningless. They're not lies, they're narratives. And the story this far has been riveting.

Bruh the LEVEL UP. across the board: lyrics, music, cinematography, wardrobe. Like holy shit the growth is INSANE 🔥🔥🔥

will really said “I don’t have bad angles” love the song, and the music video is unbeLIEvable!! 💓

Wow. So you're telling me Will Jay didn't even experience all the things he wrote about and still managed to make a song so insanely accurate? So. Talented.

I admire you so much for admitting this things and that you are now being your true self

The first verse actually really shocked me 😂 but this song is a HIT

Wtf this is so good

Lyrics: Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie I wrote a song about being broke It kinda started out as a joke I didn't go to college, what would I know About student loans? Just wanted you all to relate to me Most of my songs aren't true I faked heartbreak I didn't go through Even when I told you I've never been in love I already was Just wanted you all to relate to me I don't mean to mislead you, I promise So uncomfortable bein' dishonest, ah-ah And I think I just realized I would say anything To come off a little more interesting That's why I tell Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie I'd rather tell myself if I ignore These thoughts they'll go away And my toxic friends have changed Truth is I hate confrontation Deal with it tomorrow 'Cause there's nothing I can do That's my favorite excuse Feeding my procrastination I'll be happy when I've had success Is that my way to admit I'm depressed? My therapy's retail, if it's on sale I pay the price and call that happiness, ah-ah And I think I just realized I would do anything To keep hiding the pain I've been burying That's why I tell Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie Over and over, I keep on repeating Until it all sounds like the truth to me, and I cover them up like I'm putting out fires The last thing I want is for you to think I'm a liar That's why I tell Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie That's why I tell Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies (I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise) Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies (So uncomfortable being dishonest) Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies (Dishonest, dishonest, dishonest, dishonest) Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

This song is astonishing. To reveal the "darker" side of oneself takes so much courage!! I know it sounds crazy at first, but I think it's comparable to clothing. You choose your clothes and decide which parts you want to show or hide - hence you deliberately create the image others receive of you. Now, imagine not being able to hide the parts you feel uncomfortable or insecure about. Imagine standing butt naked infront of people - letting everybody see the way you are with no disguise, no extenuation, no lies. Jay must have taken up a lot of courage to write und especially publish this song. This honesty about one's own songs and oneself is truly rare to find and I thank jay for opening up about it. Everyone lies sometimes and even though it is nothing to be proud of, one should not dwell on it to much. The most important thing is to reflect on one's actions and to be honest with ONESELF. If you're honest with yourself, you'll mostly be honest to others too and prevent lying to someone again. In my opinion, this song displays the reflection of one's lies, which is the hardest part. It's the part where I personally try to deny a certain behaviour or action I am not proud of. When I come to the thought of realization, I start to feel guilty and ashamed. But only after experiencing this, I can reflect on myself and try to become a better person. Thank you, jay for encouraging us to reflect on ourselves!❤️

I love how he is peeling off his clothes like the layers of lies until he is left with his authentic self. Even though the clothe he was wearing presented a nice picture of himself he feels uncomfortable in them.

guys he keeps on changing his clothes as if he has different persona with each layer but then his body is just raw him... just a theory edit: just corrected the word changing haha

the lyrics are so cool when you've been keeping up with all his releases and it's like a big :0 moment THIS IS ART

"Lies" Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies Lie-lie-lie-lie I wrote a song about bein' broke It kinda started out as a joke I didn't go to college, what would I know, About student loans?

Will jay and Conan Gray should do a song together.

This song made me so uncomfortable in the best of ways. This song made me anxious and relate. " I'd rather tell myself if I ignore these thoughts they'll go away...truth is I hate confrontations", I had to stop listening and come back after a couple days because I started crying, this song felt like I was in a depression drop and dealing with an anxiety attack, but it also felt like I was facing myself to deal with the lies I tell myself and others I lie to my family a lot, because it's easier than making them understand, it's easier to tell my friends the truth and how I feel than my family so I don't even try anymore to tell my family. So thank you for making me actually confront myself about things. I have some real thinking to do. This is my favorite song at the moment.

This song is perfect for deceit/Janus from sanders sides

*i wrote a song about being broke* Me: *BUT I'M BROKE BUT IT WON'T BREAK ME*

Guess who's gonna listen to this song on repeat instead of studying? 🤔😂

will: soz guys im not relatable im a liar everyone: i r e l a t e

me:*comes out as gay* will:*being shirtless in a video* me:......what are these feelings?!

I remember telling him on insta how i thought his songwriting was genius and that he was one of my biggest inspirations from a songwriter perspective and asked him for advice. He told me that the most important thing was to be honest when writing music. I think that's very true and when i first heard the lyrics of this song i was confused for only a fraction of a second, because i first thought that this was at odds with what he had told me. But thinking about it i have come to the conclusion that what counts is that there is an honest feeling that is conveyed, you know? As long as it's a good song it doesn't need to be "true". I think a good songwriter should also be able to write stuff unrelated to him with as much emotion as he would if it was. And as far as i can judge will did that excellently, he is infact a genius. when songwriting, you sometimes have to get into character basically and i dont think there is anything wrong with that. For example i have never ever been in a relationship, yet I've written a few songs about break ups and all that stupid love shit I'm very happy not to be concerned with at the moment. But most of the time i just had an idea and somehow made it into a song, and i try to really channel what i would be feeling if i was in that situation. Writing a song about a situation you have actually never been in isn't a lie i think. Everyone does that, cuz truth be told, if songs were only ever about things that were real, music would be a heck less interesting, moving and inspirational. He wrote some amazing songs that resonated with lots of people and moved them, that's something to be proud of. Songs don't have to be true word for word, it's just important that they come from a true place of heart Edit: but also good for him to get this off his chest. I can imagine this to be quite the burden for him. I'm really proud of him. He has developed so much as an artist But also. THIS SoNG. Is frickin AMAZING!!! Aksgdhskdjhsdjfhd Everytime he brings out a new song, it is always something fresh and new in a way. The video is just wow and the lyrics are really personal. I appreciate everything about this very very much. This song is definitely added to my 'favorite-will-jay-songs-list'

I love everything about this video and this song. The lyrics are so honest and amazing! I’ve been a fan since the IM5 days and it’s just been so cool to see how you have grown and the artistry of yours songs. I’ve always looked forward to listen to your new music because each time it’s a new awesome experience. Your understanding of music and lyrical expression has always amazed me. Thank you!!!!

Dude don't feel bad. Part of being an artist is being able to represent people, all kinds. Even if you don't actually relate or aren't experiencing what you sing about, there's a genuine piece of YOU in all your work. That's what makes it great. And trying to relate to others is how we learn. Even if what you're singing about isn't "true", your thoughts on the subject are still valuable. Thank you for sharing.

2:30 The mirrors!!! The absolute perfectly edited timing of the chorus. Watch closely it's mind blowing.

okay but not only is the song good but your....VISUALS. 😳🤚🏼 caught me off guard.

I've been lied too... Will Jay give me a few days to forgive ya... Gotta play this song on repeat until I accept your confession

See, this makes me feel less alone when it's 1 AM and I am unbearably existential about the fact that no one ever sees anyone else clearly because we're all wearing lenses clouded by our experiences

Reality is more concrete than fiction. But fiction's flexibility gives it infinite form. Even if the other songs you composed weren't an exact mirror of your personal experience they can still resonate with the people who CAN see themselves reflected or can see the message and find hope or hey, just enjoy an amazingly fun to listen to song. I still love you and your work since I can only write my name (but am reconnecting), I've never been in (true) love, and I wanna be a gentleman in everything I do. I'm excited to see your new work and to listen to your other songs on loop while I wait.

Will: "I wrote a song about being broke..." Me: *feeling threatened by the start of a fire song that is poised to slap my lace off my forehead* WHAT YOU FINNA DO SIR?!?!?!

Someone tell this man that he doesn't have to be perfect, we love him for who he is, no matter if he's relatable or not. He doesn't have to come off as "interesting" he's so fucking underrated and more people need to know the name "will Jay" and his backstory and who he is, but for now he's our little secret 😔💓

I don't even know how to respond to this: gorgeous cinematography, lighting, and editing, extremely catchy (and slightly heartrending) song. And despite saying you feel like your work has been a lie, its still managed to touch so many people, and I know its been really influential in my life. We all feel fake sometimes. It's not wrong to create a song that once reflected how you might have thought or felt but doesn't anymore. That just makes you an incredibly good artist to still be able to convey that emotion even after the personal connection becomes less immediate, though I'm sure I'm not saying anything you don't already know. I found your music back when NBIL came out and have loved everything since, even the ones that might not resonate with me on a personal level, because they're all so well done, and each one seems better than the last. I know I am continuously in awe of the work you put out and the growth in its presentation. I only hope that it makes you happy and doesn't come at the expense of your personal health. If this is any indication of what your music this decade will look like, I can't wait to see what comes next.

If Broke is a joke, it's the best joke I've ever heard.

One thing that I've always really admired about your music is how genuine your songwriting is, and how it reflects into every song you've put out, this one included. And in my opinion, that is entirely unrelated to whether or not those experiences were real to you or not. Every song you've put out, every lyric you've written, to me, felt like it meant something to you. You were in love when you put out never been in love, but you knew there was a meaning behind what you were writing. There was a truth behind the optimism you tried to spread with broke and dealing with student loans. Even if you were writing it to fit some sort of far off persona, that persona spoke to so many of us. Those words you write are words that so many of us really needed to hear, and I will always be so thankful for that. Thank you, once again, for putting out an amazing song, and solidifying your place as my favorite singer.

What if he lied about lying? 🤔🤔 only joking because either way this is awesome

I swear every single song he makes in any style i fall in love with.

You're no liar to me, Will. To me, you're a writer, and I really love your stories, from your creativity to your writing to the way you sing them, everything that made me become a fan of yours in the first place, and I'm even more proud of you now.

Hi, big fan, also ace as hell and found u through "never been in love". I really hope you don't feel bad about changing between making/releasing NBIL, people, feelings, etc all change so rapidly, and it isn't lying to make a song about an experience you're currently having, and then have that change. You are definitely not the only one to make a statement about yourself, only to change later on, that's what the passage of time is about. Things like songs and social media are great time capsules for who you are at a moment in time, but they aren't weights tethering you to a personality you've grown past. This really got away from me lol, but basically, I love your music, hope you can feel confident in your future and past, and can't wait to hear more from you 😁

The cinematography....holy shit. Will, I’m so glad to have been able to witness you grow over the years. Not only as a person, but your music has grown too. I swear you just get better and better with everything you release. I can’t even begin to imagine the pressure, but please believe me when I say you’re worth it and you’re incredibly talented. I really don’t know what to say...just speechless. Well done. 💜

WAIIIIIIIT 🛑🛑🛑 YOU need to watch it AGAIN! To appreciate EVERYTHING one by one.

Well...aren't most pop songs lies, anyway? All those boy/girlbands telling us all about how they love this one person for all eternity...and next song it's all different again. I guess Beyonce is the best example for the duality of such songs. Girl literally singing about how empowering it is to be single yadda yadda...and right after finishing the video for it she went home to her HUSBAND and laughed at her fat cheque.

Hey will! So happy to see you grow so much as an artist. This new music is going to be killer!

As someone struggling with compulsive lying this song really gets under my skin ^^' also woww just when I thought Will couldn't be any prettier...

You may not tell the truth but that doesn't make you a liar. You're amazing and never think less of yourself. It's ok, you are amazing in so many ways and your music makes my day just that bit better and your music shows you, perhaps not the you that you want to have shown now but it's amazing and means something. Never been in love means something to people and even if you were in love, it doesn't make the song any different. Show you or someone else or whoever you want and you'll still be loved and have amazing music that means so much to people.

Honey, you ain't misleading and you're most certainly not a liar. You're a freaking masterpiece that continues to inspire through stories.

i love this. you’re an amazing person. we all tell lies to make the lies become our reality but it never works out like that. it’s really cool to hear you speaking from your heart. thanks Will:)

I’m not even joking. This guy inspires my music so much. He works so hard and I just don’t know how he’s not famous. He puts so much work into his music and everything he does. He deserves the hype. Idk how tf people over on TikTok with no talent are famous and someone like him isn’t famous. Life is genuinely not fair. Keep up the good work Will. There’s so many people out there who have supported you from the beginning and will support you until the end (me being one of them) honestly your best video and song so far. I love you and your music so much ❤️❤️

Serious shoutout to whoever edited this video. Like damn 12/10

I used to listen to Will Jay's music along time ago, and this brought me back

I've never been the kind of person that judges a song as amazing from the first few seconds, but god, this song changed that, I felt the impressiveness the second it started. This song is so good

THIS IS SUCH ART!!! the clothes, the set, the directing, THE SONG!! so in love with this side of your talent!

Okay now just keep going because this is a believable plot twist and I literally have all of the doubts about what's the truth and I'm INTO it, because that's one hell of a magic trick. That's performance art.

"I just wanted you all to relate to me" Well, I relate to this lol xD

*Sees Will Jay posted* Me: *the fastest click I’ve ever clicked* This is freaking INCREDIBLE!!! 😍😍😍

Even if your songs are “lies” as you put it, you do put part of your soul into them. Maybe you aren’t broke now, but you knew what it was like once. Maybe you were in love when saying you weren’t, but you knew what it felt like to not be. All the best lies come from a point of truth, anyways. There are hundreds upon thousands of singers and lyricists writing and performing songs about situations they have never experienced, heartache they’ve never felt. Authors write about situations that have never or could never happen all the time. That doesn’t make them liars. The same goes for you. And even if you did “lie” in your songs it’s your right to do so. Be creative! The only thing that really matters as a musician is if you are happy with what you create when you create it. Even if you regret it later. But if you feel guilty over what you have made, that’s another issue. In terms of this specific song, you are so wonderfully creative and heartfelt. It hits heavy in the twisted and edgy kind of way and I love it. The musicality of the melody line, the instrumentals. Everything just hits. You are an amazing musician, doing things I know some can only dream of. All I ask of you as a fan is that you are happy with what you do, and are happy in general. Fans don’t matter unless you put yourself and your well-being first. But even still, I am glad to be a fan of such brilliant talent.

I'm proud of you, Will. You showed us your darkest side, and that's what bravery is about.

Honestly, I don't mind lies. I don't come over on KZfaq to witness people living the same/similar life as me. I'm here to feel all kinds of emotions without them having any consequences on my life. It's the safest, most comfortable way of expressing myself. I love your music, I love your lies. And that's what I'm here for

This music video is great!! I found out about you like over 5 years ago, can you believe that time flew by? I’ve seen you grow as an artist, producing so many great songs and writing great pieces for others too. You kept saying your MV will be weird but it’s a good kind of different. It’s unique. It isn’t weird!!! Thank you for posting music that has been so relatable and so representing. Ilysm, thank you again for being with me since my earlier years of teen and into my adulthood 💗

music industry is hard, the only way actually live as a musician is to make music appealin and relatable to your audience, this isnt neccesarly bad, youre not really lying when youre talking about never being in love or bein broken hearted when youre not, what matter is the message you spread, in those cases will jay was trying to spread a specific messages about love, you dont HAVE to experience those cases to be allowed to sing about it, i dont think this song is only about him, he has already admited in someway in other songs how he feels about the music industry like in "until now" , i feel like this song is directed is someway to other famous pop artists that just make music for fame and money instead for the sake of actually enjoying doing music, its ovb that he´s also talking about himself i hope this doesnt turned to much for him, since ive started listening to him ive loved his music, its nice to finally listen to new stuff that sounds a bit more sincere like this song, i know no one asked for my opinion but wanted to let this anyway, loved the song , it says so much about him in so many different ways and thats amazing (also sorry for my grammar , english is not my native language)

nu'est's baekho brought me here and i love this song so much :')

Sir....SIR.....S I R! you deserve to be more populare. You make such good music and not enough people know about you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

i'm so confused lmao. one of things i most appreciate(d?) about Will Jay was(/is?) his honesty and vulnerability. to hear this song, to have him say he was lying about all that,, by being even more honest and vulnerable?? baffling, love this guy

to be honest with others and with yourself is one of the hardest things - you did this and I admire that so much, the song itself is just amazing

This song is a perfect example of what an artist is.

man just when you think there are no more good songs out there this comes out and you play it over and over again. love it

WOW. Will Jay you and your team have outdone yourselves. This is amazing. The sense of deacending into subtle insanity from beginning to end is so good and the rhythm and lyrics will be something I hum along to while doing my homework for months to come. Thank you🤯

The message is actually really seriously cool. :0

You are not the only one who lied we all are liars. I think u are the only artist who showed ur inner self. I appreciate it.

singing songs about things you've never experienced so that it you can be relatable is what even the greatest artists do. But revealing that is something no artist does. So what I'm basically saying is that you're on the right path. You're different, authentic, but still have what it takes to make it big.

Your smile in the Part: "lies lies lies" Made me crazy! I am in love with that masterpiece. Lyrics, the Video, the Instrumental and your voice. Wow. Thank you very much for your work and that you give me my new favourit Song♡

First 30 seconds and I'm completely IN LOVE with this song and music video

Thank you Jay this feels a lot more relatable and real than anything you've written before, ironic as it might seem

Writing this song just makes you more relatable

This might be one of my faves out of your music videos dude. I love the colors and the simplicity of the set but the message comes through loud and clear. 10/10

Gorgeous song and video ❤️ The funny thing about this song is that every single one of your songs I've ever listened to are all so incredibly honest. A story doesn't have to be your truth for it to be true for the person hearing it. I feel like so many of your songs are completely honest about being human to the point where, when they reach the right person, they really have the opportunity to connect on the deepest level. Everything else it just the trappings of storytelling. That's my overly dramatic two cents anyway. Keep up the awesome work 💕

i think a lot of people lie when they write songs (i’ve done it in my own writing.) I don’t think it’s bad necessarily because sometimes it’s not even for the sake of being relatable but rather leaving it up for interpretation. music can mean so many things to so many people.

If you were to tell me Will Jay would do such an angsty style, I would have said you're mad, yet here we are and I can't believe how well this style suits you! Can't wait to see more!!

Dear Will, I think the beauty of the songs you write is being relatable without being relatable. Like for me, your songs have the power to make me go through a specific set of emotions despite not having experienced the specific topic (like I can only write my name or Homesick). So to me it doesn't feel like lies at all, because what I feel with every single one of your songs is real. Connecting with your adience is real, and so the songs are real. Not a lot of artists can do what you do 💜

Ahhhhh Will has done it again with the lyrics that punch me straight in the heart!!! On a serious note, you telling “lies” in songs like Never Been In Love doesn’t bother me at all - firstly because music is just another form of storytelling, and not all stories you tell have to be 100% true. Anyone who writes knows that one of the best writing techniques out there is exaggeration. Secondly, whilst songs like NBIL might not have applied to you when you wrote them, you still went through a time in your life when you weren’t in love, and I’m guessing you drew on memories of those experiences to help write the song. In my opinion that’s not dishonest at all. You still went through what you wrote about. As for “broke” - well, first of all, if you want to be metaphorical there are different kinds of broke, and we’ve all been at least one - but most importantly, you’re allowed to want to relate to us, or for us to relate to you. It’s a natural human instinct. It’s not shameful. It’s human. Don’t beat yourself up for something we all do.

I will NEVER stop coming back to this album. Absolute MASTERPIECE ❤❤❤

This song reminds me of imposter syndrome (personally, having OCD makes me struggle tremendously with it) and I relate to that a lot :( Thank you for writing this

Will: Never been in love Also Will: LIES LIES LIES

Love the new style! Can’t wait for the album ❤️

Can’t someone get this man the attention he deserves?? IM TIRED OF THIS.

I only found this now. HOW?! The video had me so impressed and the song is my current new obsession.
