The pop song was written by Cabello, Ali Tamposi, Andrew Watt, Jon Bellion, Jordan Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Lionel Richie, Jenny Berggren, Jonas Berggren, Malin Berggren, and Ulf Ekberg. Production was handled by Watt, The Monsters & Strangerz and Bellion. It was released by Epic Records and Syco Music as a double lead single with "Shameless" on September 5, 2019. "Liar" consists of trumpets, bass drums and horns, and contains samples of Richie's 1983 song "All Night Long (All Night)" and Ace of Base's 1992 song "All That She Wants". The lyrics depict Cabello's rekindled emotions for a former partner.
"Liar" peaked at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart, number 31 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, and at number 52 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was certified platinum in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Norway, Poland, and the United States. An accompanying music video was directed by Dave Meyers and depicts Cabello trapped inside a time loop sequence. The time loop was compared to Groundhog Day (1993) and Russian Doll (2019), while the music video itself was compared to Inception (2010). Cabello performed the song at several televised events.
From August 31 to September 1, 2019, Cabello posted several teasers regarding her second project titled Romance (2019) to her social media accounts, which were scheduled to be released on September 5, 2019. The teasers included an image of Cabello seated around pillars signed 'R', a spoken-word video about love, and a clip of a key unlocking her mechanical heart.[1] The first installment for the project was announced on September 3, 2019, as she uploaded a 15-second video of tarots displaying the names of the double singles "Shameless" and "Liar".[2][3][4] Cabello explained her decision to release both songs simultaneously in a 2019 interview with Zach Sang, stating that she wanted people to become familiar with the sound of Romance.[5] The senior vice president of Epic Records, Sandra Afloarei acknowledged that the dual promotion of both songs had a positive impact on radio stations and considered it to be "a sign of the times".[6]
Musically, "Liar" is a pop song,[7] which contains an "island",[8] reggae,[9] and pan-Caribbean and Spanish mélange influences.[10] It samples Lionel Richie's 1983 song "All Night Long (All Night)" and Ace of Base's 1992 song "All That She Wants", which provides a jazz element to the song.[7] "Liar" opens with a combination of trumpets, dance-based bass drums,[11] and mariachi-inspired horns. Elements of Latin trap and flamenco are accompanied by electronic handclaps, which leads to the ska-pop chorus.[10] It rapidly cycles through styles of "salsa, reggaetón, flamenco, ska, [and] ballad[s]".[12]
Pareles wrote that "Liar" is a song which "border-hop[s] at the speed of pop".[10] He listed the song at number 20 on his list of "The 54 Best Songs of 2019" and opined that is "a lighthearted plaint about the power of lust" which "work[s] nimbly and globally to hold elusive the pop attention span".[12]
"Liar" debuted at number 56 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart dated September 21, 2019.[7] It peaked at number 52 on the chart dated November 2, 2019,[16] and received a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on September 14, 2020, for sales of 1,000,000 equivalent-units.[17] On the UK Singles Chart dated October 18, 2019, the song peaked at number 21 and remained on the chart for 13 weeks.[18]
Liz Calvario of Entertainment Tonight commented that the music video is "telenovela-inspired" and described it as "fascinating",[23] while Karen Gwee of NME considered it to be "comedic" and "hilariously absurd".[27] Billboard writer Taylor Weatherby praised Cabello's acting skills and described the music video as a "cinematic masterpiece".[22] Writing for Rolling Stone, Althea Legaspi summarized the plot as "Cabello reliving a number of scenes that get progressively more ridiculous and humorous as she tries to escape her conflicting emotions", and noted that the music video contained similarities to the song's lyrics depicting a relationship while constantly denying their own emotions. She also compared the time loop sequence to the 1993 film Groundhog Day.[26] Hosken stated that the "extravagant" music video is similar to the 2019 streaming television series Russian Doll than Groundhog Day, contrasting Natasha Lyonne's "sense of purpose" in the former to Bill Murray's "aimless hedonism" in the latter. He added that the plot is "secondary to the overall experience" which he compared to the "mindfuckery" of the 2010 film Inception, and praised the cinematic scope, which he singled out "the pink shot of Cabello amid a sea of flamingos" as "downright dazzling" and acknowledged that she enjoyed portraying an increasingly unhinged person.[20] Wade Sheridan of United Press International (UPI) additionally compared the time loop sequence to Groundhog Day and Russian Doll.[25]
Cabello debuted the live performance of "Liar" at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 20, 2019, as the second-last song on her setlist.[28] Katie Atkinson of Billboard opined that the song's horn arrangement suited a live environment,[29] while Hayden Brooks of iHeartRadio considered her performance with the backup dancers to have high energy.[30] Cabello performed the song at the Fillmore Miami Beach in a private concert hosted by Verizon Up on September 25, 2019.[31] Cabello wore a white catsuit covered in bandages with white heels and "long curly locks", as she performed with a hip-swaying dance while clouds appeared on the screen's background.[9] On October 2, 2019, she appeared on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge segment to perform "Liar" and a cover of Lewis Capaldi's 2018 song "Someone You Loved".[32][33] Cabello performed the song on The Graham Norton Show dated October 25, 2019,[34][35] where she embraced Emilia Clarke following the performance.[36] Cabello performed "Liar" at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in New York City on December 13, 2019, while wearing a pearl corset with latex pants.[37] During her virtual concert series titled 'Priceless Experiences at Home' which was released on July 15, 2020, Cabello performed "Liar" in a piano medley with "Señorita" and "My Oh My" by incorporating several vocal layers.[38]
Throughout the Born Pink World Tour by South Korean girl group Blackpink, member Jisoo performed a solo cover of "Liar" while sporting a red outfit, which was positively received by Cabello.[39] During their tour at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles on November 19, 2022, Jisoo performed the song with Cabello, with the latter appearing in customized Blackpink-branded attire.[40][41]
A version by Three Dog Night was released the following year and was featured on the band's album, Naturally.[1] It was the follow-up to the biggest hit of the band's career, "Joy to the World." Danny Hutton delivered the lead vocal and Richard Podolor was the producer.[2] In the U.S., "Liar" reached #7 on the Billboard chart.[3] In Canada, the song peaked at #4 in 1971.[4]
As confirmed by the transcription on EMI Music Publishing's Off The Record sheet music for the song, this is one of three Queen tracks, the others being "Now I'm Here" and "Under Pressure" (their collaboration originally with David Bowie), to feature a Hammond organ.
This song briefly brought up the problem of songwriting credits within the band. May queried which band members would be credited for developing the music for each song, to which Mercury concluded the discussion, stating that the lyricist, or otherwise the individual who originates the song, should be credited as its writer, a practice that continued until The Miracle (1989).
In the band's early years, "Liar" was a concert staple, performed as a conclusion to their main set, and often lasting for up to ten minutes. "Liar" would start to be played scarcely by The News of the World Tour, to be dropped from the setlist for the Jazz Tour. However, starting with the Crazy Tour, the song begins to be performed scarcely again. By the Game Tour, the song was no longer included in the setlist. The song was revived for a few shows in the European leg of the 1982 Hot Space Tour and rumoured to have been played once in the North American leg on that very same tour. The song would be revived again in the Works Tour (though the song was cut down to three minutes or less). "Liar" was referred to in the setlist of the Magic Tour, as Brian May played a partial guitar riff from the song immediately before "Tear it Up".
Comedy heavy metal band Bad News used the opening riff and other song structures in their song "Hey, Hey, Bad News". Brian May produced their self-titled album and played on their cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" from the same album.
Asked if he was angry when he first heard he was the lyrical inspiration for the song, Poland said: "No, man. It's like the pot calling the kettle black, man. When you point your finger, man, there's three pointing back at you. I just rolled my eyes and was, like, 'Really?'"
Back in 2004, Poland and/or his management and attorney filed a lawsuit against Mustaine regarding the use of the three "Rust In Peace" demos on the album's reissue without Chris's permission. According to MEGADETH's webmaster, Mustaine included the demos because he thought Chris would be "thankful for the promotion, the tipping of the hat, and showing the fans how Marty [Friedman, MEGADETH's guitarist during some of the post-Poland years] had actually been influenced by some of Chris's solo selections for those songs." Chris also allegedly tried to sue Dave for defamation of character because Dave called him a "thief," but Chris's attorney "dropped that after he found out that Chris had actually taken the band's gear and sold it for drugs," according to MEGADETH's webmaster. "Remember, there is a confession in the VH1 'Behind the Music' on MEGADETH," the webmaster said. Chris eventually settled for $9,500 and thereby ended a professional relationship with Dave and MEGADETH.
