"Feelgood Lies" is a song by all-female 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), while production was helmed by Molinder and Persson under their production moniker Twin, with Ankarberg serving as co-producer. A dark urban dance pop song that is built upon a heavy guitar riff and uplifting strings, the subjects of "Feelgood Lies" are revenge and karma. Not wanting to feel broken-hearted, the female protagonist warns a love interest to check his alibis.

The song was picked as the album's third and final single. Released on 22 September 2003 in German-speaking Europe, following the official announcement of the group's indefinite hiatus in fall 2003, "Feelgood Lies" peaked at number three in Germany, number twelve in Austria, and number 29 in Switzerland at the singles charts, becoming the highest-selling single to be lifted from parent album Pure. Its accompanying music video was directed by Marcus Sternberg and filmed at the Photonics Center in Adlershof, Berlin. Twin later worked portions of "Feelgood Lies" into American recording artist Ashley Tisdale's song "Be Good to Me" (2006).
