"Boy's a Liar" is a song by British singer PinkPantheress. Released on 30 November 2022 through Warner Records as a single, it was later included on her extended play, Take Me Home, in February 2023. Written and produced by her and Mura Masa, the song is a dance-pop, bubblegum pop, and synth-pop song with a Jersey club beat, elements of chiptune, lo-fi and hyperpop, and lyrics about feeling inadequate in a relationship. It gained traction on TikTok soon after its release and later peaked at number two in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. A remix of the song, retitled "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2", featuring American rapper Ice Spice, was released through Parlophone Records, Elektra Records, and 3EE on 3 February 2023 as the lead single from PinkPantheress' debut album Heaven Knows.
Both "Boy's a Liar" and its remix received positive reviews from critics. The remix was commercially successful, reaching number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first top-10 on the chart for both PinkPantheress and Ice Spice and the first chart entry for PinkPantheress. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song also reached number three on the Billboard Global 200, and globally, reached number one in New Zealand and number two in Canada. A music video for the remix, directed by George and Frederick Buford, shows PinkPantheress and Ice Spice together in various locations throughout New York City.
The work was nominated for PRS for Music Most Performed Work Ivor Novello Award on Thursday 23 May 2024.[1]
