"Feelgood Lies" is a dance-pop song performed by German pop band No Angels. It was written by Pelle Ankarberg, Charlie Dore, Niclas Molinder, Maryann Morgan and Joacim Persson for the group's third studio album Pure (2003). Co-produced by production team Twin and Ankarberg, the song was picked as the album's third and final single.

Released on September 22, 2003 (see 2003 in music) in German-speaking Europe, following the official announcement of the group's disbandment in the year of 2003, "Feelgood Lies" peaked at number 3 in Germany, number 12 in Austria, and number 29 in Switzerland.

Music video

The music video for "Feelgood Lies" was the No Angels' fifth clip to be filmed by German director Marcus Sternberg. It was primarily shot near the Photonikzentrum in Adlershof, Berlin in the week of August 4, 2003,[1] and entirely choreographed by Canadian dancer Sean Cheesman.[2] The video also features former Fame Academy contestant David Hernandez as a dancer.

"Feelgood Lies" does not follow a storyline but per the band's request, focuses on scenes with choreographies and futuristic designs (ironically it shows the girls wearing 1980s clothes). As a result, it generally features scenes of Nadja Benaissa, Lucy Diakovska, Sandy Mölling, and Vanessa Petruo dancing with their four male background dancers, intercutted by several close shots and computer animations, including fyling propellers and helicopters, and set expansions like glass buildings.[3]

After four weeks of post-production by Capture Berlin GmbH & Co KG the edited video premiered in September 2003 at the end of VIVA Germany's show Neu bei VIVA.
