About This Track

“Don’t Lie” is the second single from the Black Eyed Peas’ fourth album Monkey Business. The single was released in 2005. The song received a 2006 Grammy nomination for “Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal”.

The song was written by will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo, apl.de.ap, C. Peters, D. Peters, and R. Walters, produced by will.i.am and is sampled from a demo Fergie recorded as a solo artist prior to her career with the Black Eyed Peas. The song’s opening samples “This Place Hotel” by The Jacksons.

The single reached a peak position of #14 in the U.S. and #6 in the UK. The song’s chart performance in the US was impeded due to the success of “My Humps” on the charts. In Latin America the single was released after the huge success of “Don’t Phunk with My Heart”, but was able to equal the success entering in the top ten in its fith week and peak at #2 in its 7th week staying there for five weeks becoming their second top two in a row. Don’t Lie is Black Eyed Peas biggest hit to date in Latin America.

The music video for the song starts off with a still photograph of all four members of the Black Eyed Peas. The members start moving as the music picks up pace and then dance a little. The ‘photograph’ establishes that the video is set in Brazil by showing Rio de Janeiro. Later in the video other iconographic locations are shown, such as the rainforest and the slums. First up, will.i.am sings his verse.
