Girl You Know It's True is a 1989 album that was the U.S. debut of German pop group Milli Vanilli. It is a reconfigured and repackaged version of Milli Vanilli's Europe-only release All or Nothing for the U.S. market. The title track was inspired from Rob Pilatus's unrequited feelings about Paula Fontana.

The album was a major success in the U.S., producing five singles that entered the top five of the Billboard Hot 100, three of which reached the top position. On January 1990, Girl You Know It's True was certified 6x platinum by the RIAA after spending seven weeks atop the Billboard Top 200[4]. Additionally, the album spent 41 weeks within the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and 78 weeks within the charts overall. The album was also certified Diamond in Canada, denoting shipments of over a million units there. The success of the album earned the duo a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Following the scandal exposed by Los Angeles Times journalist Chuck Philips that revealed that Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan did not sing on their album[5], Arista Records dropped the act from its roster and deleted their album and its masters from their catalog, making it one of the largest-selling albums to ever be taken out of print. In addition, their Grammy was revoked,[6] marking the first time a Grammy was ever rescinded from an artist.

According to producer Frank Farian, the decision to repackage All or Nothing as Girl You Know It's True was made by Arista Records president Clive Davis.[7] In addition to including five of the tracks that originally appeared on All or Nothing ("I'm Gonna Miss You," "All or Nothing," "Baby Don't Forget My Number," "Dreams to Remember" and "Girl You Know It's True"), Girl You Know It's True featured several new tracks, including "Blame It on the Rain," which would go on to be a worldwide hit single, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. In Europe, the track later appeared in an extended version on the album All or Nothing - The U.S. Remix Album.[8]

Errors

The track orders of some U.S. releases are out of sequence with the listings printed on their cover art and several tracks are listed with the wrong running times. Additionally, some of the writers' credits are inconsistent with what is listed in external sources and Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus are incorrectly credited with the vocals.
