After being in a band together for 15 years, Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams and guitarist Taylor York started dating in the summer of 2022. "Liar" delves into Williams' struggle with her burgeoning attraction towards her bandmate, battling inner turmoil as she grapples with the notion that her feelings may be misguided. She attempts to suppress her emotions, but the inevitable explosion of her pent-up feelings cannot be denied. "When something has ease to it and when something feels healthy and again, like, respectful, it must be wrong," Williams told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. "And I fought that feeling and said to myself that 'that's just a convenient thing, you're just trying to go to where maybe your ego likes it,' I just made up anything that I could."
Hayley Williams and Taylor York wrote "Liar" with Paramore drummer Zac Farro. Williams played percussion and piano; York played guitar, keyboards, vibraphone and glockenspiel; Farro played drums, percussion, keyboards, vibraphone and glockenspiel.
