"You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" is a 2012 song by Lisa Marie Presley written by LMP herself, with James Bryan McCollum and Sacha Skarbek.[1][2] The track was selected as single from her Storm & Grace album, and released as a single on April 10, 2012. The track was described by the Presley Foundation's own website as having an "ominous, swampy vibe".[3]
The single failed to chart, but the "smoky, spooky" single was well received by Entertainment Weekly,[4][5] gave a recognizable song to the album, and made news in celebrity and entertainment for Presley's first guest appearance on American Idol, 17 May 2012, singing the song.[6] The song also received coverage in connection with Presley's supposed distancing from Scientology; The lyrics of the song include:
- “You can think that I’m evil and I’m off the rails / You ain’t seen nothing yet
- That I’m a bit transgressive and suppressive as well / You ain’t seen nothing yet
- Am I a disruption to your corruption / You ain’t seen nothing yet”
Roger Friedman cited these lyrics at length for Forbes.com and drew the conclusion that "suppressive" was signalling Presley had become a Suppressive Person in Scientology terminology.[7]

It seems appropriate to revisit it now. ...It’s been signalled in the tabloids, but suddenly Lisa Marie has made a declaration at least in song that she’s disillusioned with the notorious sect. On her new album, “Storm and Grace,” Presley makes several allusions to Scientology that are unmistakable. In the new single, “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” she sings:.. "The song uses language from the Scientology lexicon. A “suppressive” is a Scientology outcast. Then she is more pointed as a “disruption to your corruption.”
