"Don't Lie"
Song
B-side"Shake Your Monkey"

"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".

Background

The song was written by will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo, apl.de.ap, Chris Peters, Drew 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.

Chart performance

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 fifth 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 The Black Eyed Peas biggest hit to date in Latin America.

Music video

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. As he rides on his scooter, he suddenly spots himself and an ex-girlfriend arguing. He stops the scooter and walks by them, still singing his part. Then we switch to Fergie, walking in a bikini-top and a sarong-like bottom and singing the hook. Its Apl's turn after it, he sings his verse as we are shown clips of him and Taboo flirting. Again, Fergie sings the hook. Then finally, Taboo takes over for the bridge/third verse. And this time, the wardrobe and the scenario changes. All four members of The Black Eyed Peas are now on-stage at a mini-concert. Taboo seemingly sings to a girl standing in the very first row. Near the end of his verse, however, it is shown that there are several versions of the girl in different outfits, all dancing with different men. Could be an indication that she had already left him and he is "seeing" her everywhere now. Fergie dances and sings the verse. This goes on until the end, when the camera zooms out on another still photograph of the band posing.

Part of the music video is set in the same building at Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro that Snoop Dogg's music video for "Beautiful" is. 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.
