"Deny" is a song by Canadian rock band Default from their 2001 debut studio album, The Fallout . It was co-written by the members of the band and Chad Kroeger, who also co-produced the track with Rick Parashar. "Deny" originally began to receive airplay from CFOX-FM in 2001. The song was released internationally on April 8, 2002. The song was featured on the EA Sports video game, NHL 2003 , and was supported by a music video featuring boxer Laila Ali. [1] [2]
Failing to enter the Billboard Hot 100, the song proved unable to replicate its predecessor's multi-format success. "Deny" was still a hit at rock radio, reaching number seven on the US Mainstream Rock chart and number one on the Canada rock airplay chart. [3] [4]
A music video was produced for "Deny" which stars professional boxer Laila Ali, daughter of Muhammad Ali, in a boxing contest. [2] Default performs and represents Ali's motivation. As the song plays through, band members receive facial injuries in relation to the punches endured by Ali. This corresponds with the song's lyrics which deal with the demise of a relationship taking a metaphorically physical toll on a partner. Guitarist Jeremy Nora explained in an interview with LAUNCH:
Due to Default's touring schedule, the band shot their scenes separately from Ali and consequently were not able to meet her. [5]
