We Didn't Say That! is the debut album by American teen pop duo Daphne and Celeste, released on June 26, 2000. It received mixed reviews from the press, with Dean Carlson of AllMusic[1] and Melody Maker giving it four out of five stars, and NME giving it five out of ten stars.[2]

Besides its three singles, tracks on the album include "Peek-a-Boo" (a song describing a party for otherworldly creatures at Amityville that the girls crash), "Hey Boy" (a ballad that has the girls take it in turns to sing about their feelings and reservations regarding a boy), the somewhat oriental-sounding "I Love Your Sushi" (in which Daphne and Celeste are praised by a man rapping in Japanese) and a disco song called "Star Club".

Daphne revealed that the inspiration for the album was "fun".[3]

It reached number 4 in New Zealand[4] and 140 in the UK.[5]
