Written by Anastacia, Damon Sharpe, Greg Lawson, Trey Parker, Damon Butler, and Canela Cox, it was released as the album's third single in September 2002. The track first appeared on the US pressing of Anastacia's debut album, Not That Kind.

Critical reception

With a positive review, James Salmon from Yahoo! Music said: "Just when you think she's about to grind to an insipid halt, she snaps out of it with good old fashioned pop rants against the male species ('Why'd You Lie To Me')."[1] Jose Promis from Allmusic compared it to a "Destiny's Child-sounding".[2]

Music video

Directed by Mike Lipscombe and produced by Michael J. Pierce, the music video for "Why'd You Lie to Me" was shot at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles on July 6–7, 2002. It was later included on Anastacia's first music DVD, The Video Collection. The video is notable for being the first to show the singer without her trademark glasses. Choreography was done by Tina Landon. In June 2010, Anastacia confirmed in her last tour she films a new alternative video of this single and a new music video of "I Thought I Told You That".

Cover versions and notable occurrences

The song was covered by Operación Triunfo series six finalist Noelia. She sang the song live on May 27, 2008 when the gala show took place. She was nominated by the panel for eviction, but was saved by the teachers. The song is also used as the fanfare to introduce "The Lie of the Day" segment on The Laura Ingraham Radio Show.
