text: # No More Lies (Michel'le song)
  
  "No More Lies" is the debut single by American R&B artist Michel'le. It was released in 1989 as the lead single from her self-titled debut album, and became a top 10 hit in the US.
  
  ## Composition
  
  The Washington Post speculated that "No More Lies" was written about Michel'le's then-boyfriend Dr. Dre, who was abusive toward her and notoriously unfaithful.
  
  ## Music video
  
  A music video for the song was released. It depicted Michel'le at a dinner party, singing and dancing while interacting with the guests. The official music video was directed by Jane Simpson - who would also direct the video for the second single, "Nicety".
  
  ## Commercial performance
  
  "No More Lies" was a top 10 hit in the US, reaching number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (behind "It's Gonna Be Alright" by Ruby Turner and "Where Do We Go from Here" by Stacy Lattisaw and Johnny Gill, neither of which entered the Hot 100). The song was certified gold by the RIAA less than a year after its release. The song remains her most successful single, though "Nicety" and "Something in My Heart" were also top 40 hits in the US.
