White Lies is the second studio album released by singer-songwriter Mick Flannery. The album was released on September 12, 2008, achieving a top ten position on the Irish Albums Chart and featuring prominently on national radio stations. White Lies went on to go platinum in Ireland. It also received a nomination for the Choice Music Prize. When The Irish Times placed Flannery at number forty-six in a list of "The 50 Best Irish Acts Right Now" it published in April 2009 it referenced the album White Lies in its comments.

In 2008, Flannery made a televised appearance on Other Voices. The reaction he received was positive, and Flannery was later described by one reviewer as the "where's he been hiding?" act of that series. There were calls for him to receive his own episode of the show.

On the day of the album's release Flannery performed the track "Tomorrow's Papers" on The Late Late Show, followed by a nationwide tour of Ireland after the release of White Lies.
