"Lie About Us" is a song recorded by American singer Avant from his fourth studio album Director (2006), featuring American singer Nicole Scherzinger. The song was written by Beau Dozier and Bruce Boniface and its production was handled by Dozier and Ron Fair. The track was inspired by the time Dozier had a secret affair with singer Joss Stone while being in a relationship. In the neo soul song the lyrics chronicles the man's promise to the mistress and come clean about the relationship. It was released as the album's fourth single on July 31, 2006 to urban contemporary stations in the United States. An accompanying music video was released several days earlier and portrays the artists as love interests.

Quentin B. Huff of PopMatters complimented Scherzinger's vocals and highlighted as a standout from the album but Johnny Dee of The Guardian was more critical. "Lie About Us" peaked at number one on the US Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart and peaked at number 76 and nine on the UK Singles Chart and UK R&B chart, respectively.
