“Little Lies” is a song by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac from their fourteenth studio album, Tango in the Night (1987). It was written by band member Christine McVie and her then-husband, Eddy Quintela, with lead vocals performed primarily by McVie, although the chorus features backing vocals by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. The song was released in August 1987 by Warner Bros. Records, as the third single from Tango in the Night.

On its release, the single reached number one for four weeks on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1987. To date, it is their most recent top-ten hit in the United States. The single also reached number five on the UK Singles Chart. “Little Lies” continues to be played on radio stations as a classic hit of the late-1980s, along with “Everywhere” and “Seven Wonders”, both of which are from Tango in the Night. “Little Lies” was also accompanied by a music video, filmed on a farm, in and around its rustic buildings and fields.

The single was also available on the 12” single format, featuring an extended dance version, a dub version and its B-side, “Ricky”, a non-album track penned by McVie and Buckingham. A limited 12” picture disc was also released in the United Kingdom, and it was the first Fleetwood Mac single to be issued on the cassette single format.

Cash Box said that “McVie’s songwriting ability combined with Lindsey Buckingham’s production assistance provide a extremely likeable hit-to-be.”
