Sean Paul and Dua Lipa's hit single No Lie has officially been certified triple Platinum in the United Kingdom.
According to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), the 2016 R&B-tinged reggae-pop track received the BRIT Certified Multi-Platinum (3x) award on October 17, after surpassing 1.8 million units (sales and streaming equivalents) in the UK, as measured by the Official Charts Company.
The song, which went Platinum in August 2017 and double Platinum in February 2022, now stands ahead of Sean Paul's other multiple Platinum singles in the UK: Get Busy (2×), Temperature (2×), and Breathe (2×), his 2003 collaboration with Blue Cantrell.
Released via Island Records on November 18, 2016, No Lie served as the lead single from Sean Paul's Mad Love The Prequel EP. The nine-track project also included collaborations such as Mad Love with David Guetta and Becky G, Tip Pon It with Major Lazer, Body with Migos, and Tek Weh Yuh Heart with Tory Lanez.
No Lie was later featured on Dua Lipa: Complete Edition (2018), the super deluxe reissue of the English singer's debut album. Its official music video, featuring both artists performing in mirrored rooms and halls, has racked up over 1.4 billion views on YouTube.
Paul previously spoke on the song's longevity, telling DancehallMag: "Feels good to know that you can do songs, and they just grow and grow and grow. Cause when [No Lie] first came out, that was a dope song. Nuff people loved it. It went on a lot of likkle streaming vibes, and it just kept going. So awesome!"
He explained that after he, Emily Warren, and Andrew Jackson wrote No Lie, someone in his management group suggested Lipa be approached. "Big up, Dua Lipa, who was so gracious when she did the tune with me. She wasn't as big as she is now, so I'm proud to feel like I was ahead of [the] curve," he added.
No Lie is Sean Paul's longest-running single on the UK Singles Chart, spending 30 weeks and peaking at No. 11. Internationally, the track reached No. 184 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 113 on the Global Excl. US chart.
It also appeared on the soundtrack for Baywatch (2017) and I Want You Back (2022), and in the opening credits of Code Black (Season 3, Episode 11).
