The single was released in [[2005]]. The song received a 2006 [[Grammy]] nomination for "Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal". == Song information == The song was written by [[will.i.am]], [[Stacy Ferguson|Fergie]], [[Taboo (rapper)|Taboo]], [[Allen Pineda Lindo|apl.de.ap]], C. Peters, D. Peters, and [[Slick Rick|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]]. == Chart Performance == The single reached a peak position of #14 in the [[U.S.]] and #6 in the [[United Kingdom|UK]]. The song's chart performance in the US was impeded due to the unsolicited song, "[[My Humps]]", usurping its role 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 fith 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 Black Eyed Peas biggest hit to date in Latin America. == Music video == [[Image:Don't lie shot.jpg|left|thumb|230px|will.i.am and apl.de.ap in the video for "Don't Lie".]] 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. 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. == Track listing == === CD single === #"Don't Lie" (3:40) #"Shake Your Monkey" (3:54) #"Don't Lie" (Beets & Produce NY Mix) (4:07) #"Don't Lie" (Video) ==Comprehensive charts== {| class="wikitable" !align="left"|Chart (2005) !align="left"|Position |- |align="left"|U.S. Billboard Hot 100 |align="center"|14 |- |align="left"|U.S. Billboard Pop 100 |align="center"|9 |- |align="left"|UK Singles Chart |align="center"|6 |- |align="left"|United World Chart |align="center"|1 |- |align="left"|Argentina Top 40 Singles |align="center"|1 |- |align="left"|Australian ARIA Singles Chart |align="center"|6 |- |align="left"|Belgium Top 50 Singles |align="center"|14 |- |align="left"|Canadian Singles Chart |align="center"|26 |- |align="left"|Chile 100 Airplay Chart |align="center"|1 |- |align="left"|Eurochart Hot 100 Singles |align="center"|4 |- |align="left"|France Singles Chart |align="center"|7 |- |align="left"|Latin America Top 40 |align="center"|2 |- |align="left"|New Zealand Singles Chart |align="center"|5 |- |align="left"|Turkish Singles Chart |align="center"|1 |- |align="left"|Hungary Viva Chart |align="center"|1 |} {{Black Eyed Peas}} {{start box}} {{succession box | before = "[[Don't Cha]]" by [[The Pussycat Dolls]] featuring [[Busta Rhymes]] | title = United World Chart [[List of number-one hits (World)|number one single]] | years = [[October 1]] [[2005]] | after = "[[Don't Cha]]" by [[The Pussycat Dolls]] featuring [[Busta Rhymes]] }} {{end box}} [[Category:2000s pop songs]] [[Category:2005 singles]] [[Category:Black Eyed Peas songs]] [[it:Don't Lie]] [[pt:Don't Lie]]
