"Everyone answers to someone. Don't lie to me," reads lines from the music video. The pop legend illustrates her lyrics with images matching the idea of the song.

The US president Donald Trump appeared the recurring subject as images of him spread throughout the 4-minute long video.
“They’re very troubling times. The leader of the free world doesn’t seem to care much about truth, and he’s chipping away at the pillars of democracy, like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press.
"I believe in the power of the truth, and I can’t stand being lied to," a vocal Barbra Streisand talks about the political relevance of 'Don't lie to me' with Time. On the song she is revealed as taking a stand against Trump.
