On Tuesday (3.13), UPROXX debuted “You Ain’t Foolin’ Me,” Lindi Ortega’s third track from her three-part concept LP Liberty, due March 30. Opening with the sound of Ortega’s signature red boots stomping, she wastes no time sugar-coating the shade in the “smirking new track.” Addressing loss, resurrection, seance and freedom in her forthcoming album, Ortega uses this track to call out her less-than-loyal friends, analogizing them to lions dressed in sheep’s clothing.

Lindi says: “In this song, our character has some unsavory friends, particularly the backstabbing two-faced variety. But he/she is wise to this and knows maybe it’s time to give these friends the boot. Some Southerners say the phrase ‘bless your heart’ may have negative connotations, and while it appears like a lovely thing to say, it is sometimes meant in a mean-spirited way. I was drawing from that concept when I wrote this song. The mean folks parading as angels but we know they ain’t no angels.”
