"The Heart Won't Lie" is a duet between American country music artists Reba McEntire and Vince Gill that reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart. It was the second single released from Reba's CD, It's Your Call.

"The Heart Won't Lie" was originally planned to be a duet with Kenny Rogers, but when Rogers proved to be unavailable McEntire decided to record the song not as a duet and Vince Gill was added later.[1]
