Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a star-studded trio took to the stage to perform a soulful rendition of the blues-inspired track "I Lied to You" from Ryan Coogler's critically acclaimed film Sinners. Raphael Saadiq, Miles Caton, and producer Ludwig Göransson joined forces for an unforgettable performance that showcased their musical chemistry.
The stripped-back production allowed the trio to shine in their respective roles, with Caton taking center stage as he performed his part in the movie. The group was accompanied by a backing choir, adding depth and emotion to the song. Saadiq's smooth vocals blended seamlessly with Göransson's guitar work, creating an infectious energy that had the audience entranced.
"I Lied to You" is one of several original tracks from Sinners' soundtrack, which also features performances from other cast members such as Jack O'Connell and Lola Kirke. The song was co-written by Saadiq and Göransson, who explained the importance of intuition in writing music: "It's really in the fingers... It's in the mind of the person that's doing it."
The performance came on the heels of Sinners' recent wins at the Golden Globes, including the prestigious Audience Award. The film's unique blend of vampires, the blues, and Black history has been widely praised by critics, with many hailing it as a standout release this year.
In a surprise turn of events, "I Lied to You" has also made the Oscars shortlist for Best Original Song, alongside another track from Sinners' soundtrack. With its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, "I Lied to You" is sure to be remembered as one of the standout songs of the year – and this live performance will only add to its allure.

. I was driving with my friends through the countryside, and we stumbled upon this tiny diner that served the best burgers ever! I'm talking crispy bacon, melted cheddar... it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth 
. We ended up eating there for hours, just chatting about everything under the sun. I swear, sometimes life is more interesting than any movie or music performance 
. And have you ever tried to take a good selfie on an iPhone with a burger in hand? It's like trying to capture lightning in a bottle 
. Anyway, back to Sinners... that soundtrack is fire 
!
Those guys totally killed it, you know? It's always amazing when musicians can come together like that and create something magical. And with Sinners winning those Golden Globes, I think this film is definitely worth checking out 
. The way the music blends with the story is just incredible... I'm not surprised to hear it made the Oscars shortlist 
. Can't wait to see who takes home that award in March 
The fact that it was a star-studded trio performing at Jimmy Kimmel Live! makes me wonder if they're more famous for being in the same movie as each other or actually for their music 
. But hey, I guess "I Lied to You" is kinda catchy... in a bluesy, soulful kind of way... zzz. 
Raphael Saadiq and Miles Caton have that chemistry, like they were born to sing together 
Ludwig Göransson's guitar work was everything too 
and I'm DYING for more of Sinners' soundtrack - those original tracks are GONNA be CLASSICS 
, but can we talk about how convenient it is that they're performing in a stripped-back setting? I mean, don't get me wrong, the chemistry between those three was undeniable... but wasn't that whole setup just a bit too rehearsed for your taste? 
It felt like they were trying to make a bigger statement than just showcasing their talents. And what about the backing choir? Did we really need them for this particular performance? 
. Raphael Saadiq's voice is just so smooth and soulful... it gave me chills 
. It's no wonder that track made it onto the Oscars shortlist for Best Original Song, it's truly unforgettable.
. and can you believe those original tracks from the soundtrack? "I Lied to You" is giving me all the feels every time I listen to it 
. i'm loving how the film's mix of vampires and Black history is being celebrated, it's like we need more stories like this on screen 
. fingers crossed for those Oscars wins, let's get that gold medal 
!
? I mean, he's got that smooth jazz vibe goin' on and then Miles Caton comes in and steals the show with those soulful vocals 
. And you know what's even better? They're gettin' some Oscar buzz for this song, I'm low-key hyped 
. The stripped-back production allowed each artist to shine, with Caton's performance being a particular highlight 
Raphael Saadiq's vocals are always on point but the way he blended with Miles Caton & Ludwig Göransson was pure magic 
. The stripped-back production allowed them to shine in their roles and it was amazing to see how well they worked together as a trio 
!
. The way they blended blues, vampires & Black history is pure magic 
i'm not surprised it made the oscars shortlist too, it's definitely one of the standout tracks from sinners' soundtrack this year 
? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's always great when music comes together like that. But come on, you'd think with the cast of Sinners, they could have done better than just three people performing together 
. And what's up with the Oscars shortlist for Best Original Song? It's always the same few songs getting chosen, and this year is no exception 
i swear they're life changing! i had them with my morning coffee and it was like a party in my mouth 
I'm literally hyped for the Oscars and hope "I Lied to You" takes home that award!!!
