Truth Hurts

Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts” actually found its fame in the 2020s despite a 2017 release. The confident, witty anthem (“I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100% that b****”) went viral in 2019 and climbed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it reigned for seven weeks. It became a girl-power staple and earned Lizzo Grammy awards, proving that sometimes a sleeper hit can define an era. “Truth Hurts” also helped pave the way for Lizzo’s mainstream breakthrough, celebrating self-love and sass in equal measure.
