Big Fat Lie is the second studio album by American singer Nicole Scherzinger, released on October 17, 2014 by RCA Records. Scherzinger began working on the record in the summer of 2013, enlisting Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart to executively produce the album with Felix Snow, Bart Schoudel, Chris "TEK" O'Ryan and Carlos McKinney also contributing.
"Your Love" was released as the lead single from Big Fat Lie on May 30, 2014. It debuted at number six on the UK Singles Chart, and had moderate success in other international markets. "Run" was sent to US contemporary hit radio stations on September 30 as the album's lead single whilst the "On the Rocks" was released on October 10 elsewhere. "Run" was subsequently released in the UK.
Following the end of the ninth series of the UK edition of The X Factor, Scherzinger shifted her focus on her second studio album. In March, she released "Boomerang" as the lead single from the project, and it managed to peak at number six on the UK Singles Chart. According to Scherzinger, will.i.am served as the executive producer of the album and worked with songwriter-producers Afro Jack, Dallas Austin, Toby Gad and Sandy Vee who produced "Boomerang". Whilst planning to release the new album worldwide in November, Scherzinger unveiled that she had doubts about returning for the tenth series of The X Factor as the promotion for the album would clash with the live stages of the singing competition. She ultimately decided to return as a judge, and scrapped the album "Boomerang" was associated with. It was during this time the media reported that Scherzinger was dropped from Interscope Records, however a spokesperson for Scherzinger denied speculation and confirmed that she was working with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart.
