For you, who are feeling down after being tricked by your friends on April Fools’ Day, humiliated, and thinking today was just the absolute worst—this is for you.

Let a gentle singing voice soothe you, telling you it was just an unlucky day, that’s all.

If you’re listening to love songs on April Fools’ Day, how about this track by Czech artist Mikolas Josef, with lyrics that repeat “Tell me it’s a lie”? Though the words express feelings toward a cheating girlfriend, the bright and positive sound lifts your spirits.

The Greatest Showman Cast – The Greatest Show (Official Audio)

It’s a song from the film The Greatest Showman.

When he’s mocked—told that his circus is fake and just deceives people—the protagonist boldly dons a top hat labeled “Fraud,” and it’s exhilarating.

The way he turns lies and trickery into truth is the very essence of entertainment.

It’s a song that gives you energy.

This is a song that cheerfully sings, “There’s no way that guy’s cooler than me—it’s a lie, a lie, a lie.” Its slick rap and breezy R&B sound feel great and soothing.

Also recommended as background music for an April Fools’ surprise party.

Lie ft. QuavoHalsey

Halsey – Lie (Audio) ft. Quavo

A song about a married couple whose relationship has cracked due to the husband’s infidelity…

perhaps.

A woman wishing, if you no longer have love for me, then at least lie to me; and a man singing, you’re important to me, so there’s no need for me to lie.

I feel an unbridgeable rift.

If we’re going to tell lies on April Fool’s Day, I’d want them to be lies that bring happiness.
