"The Truth" is a song by American recording artist Kris Allen, from his self-titled debut album.

Allen also stated it never crossed his mind to feature Monahan, commenting, "It wasn’t that type of song where you say, 'We need someone else on this.'

At the end of the video, Allen is singing and playing his piano in a glass filled candle lanterns, finishing the song.

He noted that while both "Live Like We're Dying" and Allen's song choices on American Idol fit his talents impeccably, "The Truth" makes him sound "almost like a Daughtry wannabe losing all of his own performance personality in the process."

He recommended Allen unleash his vocal power shown in the song "on something more unique to him as an artist.

"[2] "The Truth" debuted at number 37 on the US Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart for the week of June 5, 2010.
