Don't Lie (2005) |
My Humps (2005) |
"Don't Lie" is the second single from the Black Eyed Peas' fourth album Monkey Business. Released in 2005, the single has reached a peak position of #14 in the U.S. and #6 in the UK. The song's chart performance was impeded due to the unsolicited song, "My Humps", usurping its role on the charts.
The song received a 2006 Grammy nomination for "Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal".

[edit] Song information
The song was co-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. In this breezy acoustic tinged anthem, will.i.am, Taboo, and apl.de.ap face a serious problem that Fergie disapproves of: lying. Although the men try to downplay their lying and make excuses, Fergie is not pleased, as she warns them, "No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie-i-i". But then later Fergie takes the stage and admits that she lies to herself so much that she doesn't know who she is anymore.
[edit] 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 with some girls. 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 Black Eyed Peas are now on-stage at a mini-concert. Taboo seemingly sings to a girl standing in the very first row. She then embraces a guy and looks at Taboo as if trying to make him jealous. 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.
