"Don't Trust Me" was released on June 8, 2009 as the lead single for the band's label debut. "Don't Trust Me" is also featured on the game, Tap Tap Revenge for the iPhone OS. It was also used on The Hills and Pretty Little Liars. The official remix features Kid Cudi.
The official video begins with words being typed on the screen stating "A global virus of catastrophic proportions has attacked the entire male population. Only two male models from Colorado survive... this is their story". The screen shifts to a shot of the band shirtless at a photo shoot. The set resembles that of a hotel. Another photo shoot takes place at a set resembling a high school wrestling match, where they are dressed in neon-colored singlets. The last photo shoot is in the prehistoric era, and the band is dressed as cavemen. The video ends with a shot of a mushroom cloud, and the words "Transmission terminated" are typed onto the screen. The video received a nomination at the MTV Video Music Awards 09 for Best New Artist.
"Don't Trust Me" became the band's breakout hit. It is their first top ten hit in the U.S, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its twenty-third week on the chart.[3] It has sold over 2,000,000 copies and has been certified Double Platinum.[4] It has also been a huge success on U.S. Mainstream Top 40 radio, reaching number one there. It has gone top forty on the Canadian Hot 100 as well, at #6. "Don't Trust Me" has done particularly well in Oceania, where it has reached the top three in Australia, and the top ten in New Zealand. It has also reached #5 in Finland. On July 19, 2009 the single entered the UK singles charts at number 21. On April 26, 2010 "Don't Trust Me" re-entered the UK top 40 at position 22.[5]
