"Don't Lie" is a song performed by American recording group The Black Eyed Peas, taken from their fourth studio album, ''Monkey Business'' (2005). It was released as the second single from the album, after the successful "Don't Phunk with My Heart". The song was serviced to mainstream radios on July 26, 2005 in the United States, through Interscope Records, and received international releases later on. "Don't Lie" was written by the band together with American production duo Peters & Peters while band member will.i.am headed its production. It contains a compositional sample of Slick Rick's 1991 song "The Ruler's Back". The song was produced as a pop-oriented hip hop song with a Latin-tinged beat. The lyrics feature the protagonist apologizing for lies made during his relationship with another woman. Critical reception for the song was generally positive, with many praising it lyrics, noting that they diverge from the dangerous lyrics in hip-hop music. "Don't Lie" was commercially successful worldwide, nearly replicating the success of the album's previous single. It peaked at number fourteen on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and became their fifth top 40 hit on the chart. The song reached the top ten in several countries including Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The music video for "Don't Lie" is set in Brazil. ==Background and composition== "Don't Lie" was written by all the members of The Black Eyed Peas along with songwriting and production duo Peters & Peters. The production of the song was helmed entirely by Adams under his stage-name will.i.am while additional production was orchestrated by Ron Fair. It was recorded at The Stewchia in Los Feliz, California. In addition to co-writing and producing the song, Adams engineered the track with Jason "ill-aroma" Villaroman and Tal Herzberg; the latter also programmed the song with the use of Pro Tools. Adams is also responsible for the drum programming and bass performed on the song. Fair, who provided additional production, played the harmonica. George Pajon, Jr. and Ray Brady were featured on the track as its guitarists. The song was finally mixed by Mark "Spike" Stent, who also mixed the previous single "Don't Phunk with My Heart". "Don't Lie" is a hip-hop song that incorporates elements of pop and dance music genres. According to the digital music sheet published at Musicnotes.com by Hal Leonard Corporation, the song is written in a key of D major and maintains a tempo of 66 beat per minute. It contains a compositional sample of Slick Rick's 1988 song "The Ruler's Back" (''The Great Adventures of Slick Rick'', 1989). Christian Horder of ''Rolling Stone'' described "Don't Lie" as a "breezy, grooving romantic apology starring MC Will.i.am". Adams claims that the song was written from an experience in which he deceptively bended the truth to an ex-girlfriend. He further explained the song's lyrics: "It's a song about owning up and apologizing and realizing your faults. It's about being a man or a woman - an adult - and confronting situations honestly."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hiphopgalaxy.com/Black-eyed-peas-hip-hop-2054.html )〕 "Don't Lie" was released as the second single from ''Monkey Business," after the successful "Don't Phunk with My Heart".
