Lauv said, “we wrote Fake the first time I met Conan and it’s one of my fav songs ever. I hope you love it.”
Conan added, “Lauv and I wrote Fake while we were just hanging and ranting about those two faced people everybody knows. Those people who say one thing and do the other, people who constantly talk trash about their own friends. We wanted to make something fun you can scream in the car to, a song to flip a bird at those types of people.”
