The single "Dear Lie," released in late 1999, saw TLC fulfilling a contractual obligation with a track recorded years earlier. The song and its accompanying video, which featured the members lip-syncing in separate, sterile environments, reflected the fractured state of the group at the time.
- "Dear Lie" was released in November 1999, charting at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The song was one of the last recordings made by the group before their hiatus following the release of FanMail. The single was included on the 2004 compilation album TLC: Greatest Hits.
- The song was reportedly recorded in 1995 during the sessions for their album CrazySexyCool but was not included on the final tracklist. It was eventually released as a single in 1999, fulfilling a contractual obligation. The accompanying music video was filmed in 1996, depicting the group members in isolation.
- While "Dear Lie" was released as a single in 1999, it was not included on the group's 1999 album FanMail. The track was instead released as a contractual obligation to LaFace Records. It was later included on the 2004 compilation album TLC: Greatest Hits.
TLC is a Grammy-winning Atlanta-based trio known for their fusion of R&B, hip-hop, and soul. By 1999, they had become one of the best-selling female groups of all time, having released two consecutive multiplatinum albums.
