Presley Tennant Turns Betrayal into a Breakout Moment with new single, "Let Lying Dogs Sleep”

“He says he’s places he’s not and he thinks I won’t find out.”— Presley Tennant, “Let Lying Dogs Sleep”

Presley Tennant isn’t pulling punches in her latest single, “Let Lying Dogs Sleep.” She’s fiery, fed-up, and finally done, and she’s bringing her listeners with her as she walks away with a clear message: you can lie to me, but you won’t keep me.

This isn’t your typical heartbreak ballad. It’s not a slow burn, it’s a controlled detonation, built on betrayal, hard-won clarity, and Tennant’s signature powerhouse vocal. The track opens with a telling line: “He says he’s places he’s not and he thinks I won’t find out.” It’s a line that doesn’t just set the scene, it starts the fire.

At the core of “Let Lying Dogs Sleep” is a clever and cutting metaphor: the lies are the dogs. They’re curled up in the corners of your relationship, quiet for now, but ready to bite if you don't walk away before it's too late. Presley doesn’t just call out the deception—she names it, frames it, and sets it down to rest. Permanently.

With the lyric, "Sometimes the truth hides in the middle of the room, curled up on a blanket, making a fool out of you", Tennant doesn’t waste time trying to fix him. She’s not calling, not crying, and definitely not forgiving. Instead, she’s sending a message to every woman listening: Don’t wait around for a liar to start being honest. Let him lie. Let him go. And allow yourself find better.

With this Modern Country hit, the choice she made is clear. And for every listener caught in that same tug-of-war between what they know and what they wish weren’t true—this song might just be the permission they need to stop waiting around for him to change.

Because some lies aren’t worth chasing. Some men aren’t worth keeping. And some dogs? It’s best to let them sleep.
