"That’s Not My Name" is the third single by British duo The Ting Tings from their debut studio album We Started Nothing. Vocalist Katie White states that the song was written "with me ranting about my frustrations with the record industry." The song was originally released as a double A-side with "Great DJ" by independent record label Switchflicker Records on 28 May 2007. After heavy promotion from BBC Radio 1 and the NME, the single was re-released individually on 12 May 2008 on Columbia Records.
"That's Not My Name" topped the UK Singles Chart, seeing off competition from well-established acts like Rihanna, Madonna, and will.i.am. The song was a sleeper hit in North America, peaking within the top forty of the charts in the United States. The single has sold over a million digital copies.
"That's Not My Name" is written in the key of E major with a tempo of 144 beats per minute. The vocals in the song span from G3 to G♯5.
The song has three music videos. The first features the Ting Tings on a white background performing the song on a set, with alternating scenes of White with blue and pink backgrounds. This version of the video was used to promote the song and album upon its 2007 release. This video is visually similar to the video for Toni Basil's "Mickey", in keeping with the audio similarities. This video was directed by Sophie Muller and Stacey Hartly. Columbia produced a 2008 video for the US release, with director David Allain and with them performing again on a different set, with more equipment and flashing lights in the background. The video premiered on mtvU.com on 26 January 2009. Another video was made for the acoustic version. All videos are live action. The third music video was directed by AlexandLiane and features the Ting Tings in a park, where some people costumed by skeletons start to show themselves, with some words of the lyrics of "That's Not My Name".
