Shaggy’s classic hit single “It Wasn’t Me” was long thought to be a song telling men to lie about their cheating ways after being caught in the act. However, the Dancehall artist has revealed that that isn’t the case. Instead, the famous track is, in fact, an “anti-cheating song.”
During a recent interview with People, Shaggy gave context to the song’s premise while attempting to debunk the long-running notion of the song’s intent.
“It was a big misconception with that song because it is not a cheating song,” the 54-year-old told the publication. “It’s an anti-cheating song. It’s just that nobody listened to the record to the end.”
