"Is It True" is a song released in 1964 byBrenda Lee. In 1964, Brenda Lee was flown by Decca to England to cut a single record, initially conceived for release exclusively in the United Kingdom, but it was in fact also released in the US shortly after release in the UK. "Is It True" was written byJohn Carter and Ken Lewis, then two of England's top songwriters.[3]

The single reached No. 17 on both the United Kingdom'sRecord Retailer chart and the United States'Billboard Hot 100 chart,[4][5][6] and reached No. 8 on Canada'sRPM "Top 40 & 5"[7] and No. 11 on Canada'sCHUM Hit Parade.[8]
