Taking place in June 1981, the session was produced by Ron Oates, along with assistance from Don Grierson and Lane's husband (and manager) Lee Stoller.
      "Lies on Your Lips" was first released on Lane's seventh studio album titled Fragile – Handle with Care. In December 1981, "Lies on Your Lips" was issued as a single, on the Liberty label. It was Lane's fourth single release with Liberty. The song became her third single since 1977 to miss the top 20 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, peaking at number 22 in 1982. It was Lane's final single to reach the top 40 on the chart. The song was reviewed by Billboard magazine in 1981. "Powerful tracks behind Lane add a welcome punch to her performance and provide effective contrast to her soft-spoken vocal," they wrote.
