Don't Lie

"Don't Lie" is a song performed by American recording group the Black Eyed Peas, taken from their fourth studio album, Monkey Business (2005).

It was released as the second single from the album on July 26, 2005, after the successful "Don't Phunk with My Heart".

The lyrics feature the lead character apologizing for lies made during his relationship with another woman.

The song reached the top 10 in several countries including Australia, Denmark, Italy and the UK.

According to the digital music sheet published at Musicnotes.com by Hal Leonard Corporation, the song is written in a key of D major and maintains a tempo of 66 beats per minute.

[1] Christian Horder of Rolling Stone described "Don't Lie" as a "breezy, grooving romantic apology starring MC Will.i.am".

[2] Adams claims that the song was written from an experience in which he deceptively bended the truth to an ex-girlfriend.

[4] Tom Day of musicOMH dismissed the lyrics for not being as thought provoking as their previous singles and commented that the chorus was "poor" and the melody and sample were "plagiarised".

[5] The staff at Boston.com praised Fergie's vocals on the song, while commenting, "a nice change since she's often reduced to just singing hooks.

Lamb also commented that the song maybe too pop-oriented for their hip-hop followers and found the lyrics to be less challenging.

[8] "Don't Lie" made its first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 13, 2005, entering at number eighty-one.

All four members of the Black Eyed Peas are now on-stage at a mini-concert in Parque Lage in Rio.

However, the courtyard actually contains a pool (visible in the Snoop Dogg video) that is ignored in computer-generated image composition in the "Don't Lie" video—the partygoers would actually be falling in the water.

In real life, the building serves as a community art school, although it does occasionally hold intimate jazz performances.
