On January 14, 2011 the band broadcasted live throughout the day on the video recording of "That's the Truth" in the Super City. It is said to have a scene with a hellium balloon, and Dougie plays the main role, which involves water. Tom Fletcher posted on his Twitter and joked that Dougie had not come home from his scene in water. McFly posted a trailer of the video on January 21, and announced the first play of it will be on Tuesday the 25th exclusive to Super City. McFly's video was leaked on YouTube. The storyline is Dougie has split up with his girlfriend, and is very upset about it. He smashes his room up, then drops of water from the ceiling splash on Dougie, and water then streams into his room. Dougie wakes up the next morning to find his room is completely normal.

"That's the Truth"
Song

"That's the Truth" is the third single from British band McFly's fifth studio album, Above the Noise. The single was first confirmed by band members Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter in a web chat on the group's official website, Super City. Graham Norton premiered the song on British radio on January 15, 2011 on his drivetime slot on BBC Radio 2. The single is due for release on March 6, 2011.

Critical reception

Glasswerk said the song is a departure from the electronic sound and sublime synths featured on previous two singles ‘Shine A Light’ and ‘Party Girl’. A string orchestra accompanies the band’s heartfelt lyrics about honesty and working through problems in relationships, whilst the anthemic chorus has already proved to be a huge fan’s favourite at McFly’s recent live shows.

Music video

On January 14, 2011, the band broadcasted the recording of the video live throughout the day via their website, Super City. A trailer for the video was streamed on January 21, before the full video was released on January 25. The video tells the story of Dougie's break-up with The Saturdays band member Frankie Sandford. Dougie is seen smashing up his room, crying in the corner and feeling generally upset. However, drips of water from the ceiling seem to heal Dougie, and when he wakes up the following morning, everything has gone back to normal.

Live performance

The first live performance of That's The Truth will be broadcast on February 11, as part of the fifth episode of ITV variety show Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford. A celebrity edition of The Cube, featuring Tom and Danny as contestants, also features a live performance of That's The Truth. The episode is set to air on March 5. BBC Yorkshire streamed an exclusive acoustic version of That's The Truth on January 27.
