The story behind the song

"It Wasn't Me" tells the story of a man caught cheating by his girlfriend, seeking advice from his friend. The friend's counsel, despite clear evidence of infidelity, is to deny everything with the simple phrase "it wasn't me." This song, featuring Rikrok, became a breakthrough for Jamaican-American reggae musician Shaggy from his 2000 album Hot Shot. It's a playful exploration of denial and the humorous lengths one might go to avoid consequences.
