According to co-writer Justin Tranter, “Bad Liar” is about “trying to hide magical feelings for someone new, but not being able to.”

The track is the latest single from Selena Gomez released on May 18, 2017. Although it is not yet linked to any project, it could be a first single for one.

The track interpolates the bassline of Talking Heads‘ 1977 classic “Psycho Killer."
