#KRITICIZM - Lexy Panterra is continuing to expand her musical catalog with the release of her new single, “Why Lie,” adding another chapter to a career that has taken her from viral internet fame to pursuing her own lane as a recording artist.


Also known to many fans as Virgin Lex, Panterra has built a massive digital presence over the years. With millions of followers across social media, she became widely recognized for her personality, dance content, music, and ability to connect with audiences around the world. But behind the viral moments is an artist who has spent years developing her sound and telling her story through music.


“Why Lie” arrives as another opportunity for Panterra to showcase the more personal side of her artistry. While she has released everything from energetic and provocative records to emotional songs centered on relationships, heartbreak, love, and everyday struggles, her latest release continues her evolution beyond the personality many people first discovered online.

From Sacramento to a Worldwide Audience

Born Alexis Liela Afshar, Panterra was raised in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento, California. Her Persian heritage has also played an important role in her background and identity.

Music runs in her family. Her grandmother, Leila Kasra Afshar, known professionally as Leila Kasra, was an Iranian poet and songwriter. After leaving Iran following the Iranian Revolution, her family established a new chapter in the United States.

Panterra’s childhood exposed her to several different worlds. Her father introduced her to motorcycle racing at an early age, while her mother’s passion for music and dance helped push her toward entertainment.

She eventually began studying ballet, dance, and singing. During her school years, Panterra performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” and participated in musicals, experiences that helped establish the foundation for the performer she would later become.

Building Her Own Sound

Panterra began writing her own music in 2015 and has continued releasing material that shows different sides of her personality. Rather than limiting herself to one sound or subject, she has explored upbeat records alongside more vulnerable songs dealing with complicated relationships and personal experiences.

Her career has also connected her with major names in contemporary music, including DJ Snake, Major Lazer, Marshmello, Lil Yachty, Shaun Frank, and Prologic.

That combination of music, dance, social media and entrepreneurship has helped Panterra build a brand that extends well beyond any single viral moment.

Projects such as “Sex, Money, & Love Songs” further demonstrated her desire to establish herself as an artist with her own catalog instead of simply relying on the enormous audience she developed online.

“Why Lie” Marks the Next Chapter

With “Why Lie,” Lexy Panterra continues doing what has defined much of her career: turning attention into opportunity while steadily building her identity as a recording artist.

For longtime followers, the new single offers another look at the musical side of someone they may have originally discovered through social media or dance. For listeners encountering her for the first time, it provides another entry point into a catalog that has continued growing for more than a decade.


Panterra has already proven she knows how to capture an audience. With “Why Lie,” the focus once again shifts toward the music—and the next stage of her journey as Lexy Panterra.
