The Script

A driving, distorted Rock track about exposing lies and taking back control.

"The Truth Hurts" is a high-energy Rock anthem driven by a relentless rhythm section and heavily distorted guitars. With a powerful, urgent vocal performance and a tight, punchy low end, this song builds from a tense verse into an explosive chorus. It’s a spacious yet direct rock track about the moment the facade crumbles.

This track is a confrontation. It’s about realizing it was all a ruse, the clues, the control, and the "news" spun into gold. "The Truth Hurts" channels the anger of being manipulated and the catharsis of finally finding out the truth. It explores the breakdown of trust and the refusal to stay on your knees any longer.

[Verse]

Was it all a ruse
Just to keep me on my knees
You left me all these clues
Was it only make-believe

[Pre-Chorus]

Did you really think I wouldn't find out

[Chorus]

The truth hurts
Now I'm pullin' back the curtain
I've unearthed
Everything that you were certain I would never learn
But the truth hurts

[Verse 2]

It was in the news
How you spun it into gold
Who do you abuse
Tell me who else you control

[Pre-Chorus]

Did you really think I wouldn't find out

[Chorus]

The truth hurts
Now I'm pullin' back the curtain
I've unearthed
Everything that you were certain I would never learn
But the truth hurts

The Script’s gift for writing songs rich with heady emotions and ever bigger melodies has enamoured fans all over the world, leading to a catalogue of global hits such as ‘Hall of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, ‘Superheroes’ and ‘Breakeven’. But following the tragic loss of founder member Mark Sheehan in 2023, his bandmates Danny O’Donoghue and Glen Power vowed that the best way to pay tribute to him would be to continue the band they had built together and reconnect with The Script’s worldwide family.

Returning with their upcoming album ‘Satellites’, The Script have made a life-affirming record, bringing a fiery new energy to their anthemic, arena-filling sound. The Script prove that there can be new horizons and light after the darkness.

2024 will see The Script tour internationally as special guests to P!NK before they add to a career total of 4 million ticket sales by embarking upon a huge UK and European headline arena tour in November. Having already achieved so much - 10 billion streams, 12 million album sales, 6 UK #1 albums - an exciting new chapter in The Script’s journey is underway, and the possibilities are endless.
