Kim Petras and The Chainsmokers are sneaking in one last song of the summer contender, with the pop star and EDM duo releasing a new collaboration titled “Don’t Lie” and music video Friday (Sept. 6).
In the video, bandmates Alex Pall and Drew Taggart DJ a rave in the middle of nowhere as Petras mysteriously emerges from a mud puddle and steals the show. “Picture you and me alone/ That’s the feeling that I want,” she sings over a club-ready beat, strutting, posing and dancing with a group of other partiers. “Baby, you’re the only one/ Let me show you how it’s done.”
Even as a thunderstorm sends camping gear flying, the German artist keeps the party going in the rain before disappearing back through the puddle portal she came from.
“Don’t Lie” marks Petras’ first release since “Reason Why” with the late producer SOPHIE and BC Kingdom. Earlier this year, she dropped Slut Pop Miami, reaching No. 14 on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
The track also follows The Chainsmokers’ May EP No Hard Feelings. After the duo’s collaboration with Petras dropped Friday, Pall and Taggart shared photos from the set of their video shoot on Instagram and wrote that the project “marks a shift in the way we’ve been making music in the absolute best way.”
“It lead us to rediscovering the process that started all of this back when we were making indie remixes in 2014 hoping they would get some traction on hype machine,” they continued. “Things feel really f–king fun right now. We are excited to share the first piece with you.”
