"Liquor" is a song by American singer Chris Brown, from his seventh studio album Royalty. It was released as the album's lead single on June 26, 2015, by RCA Records.^[1]

The song was written by Chris Brown along with Tone Stith, Jordan Evan, Matthew Samuels and Omega Shelton, while its production was handled by Stith and The Aquarius. "Liquor" is an alternative R&B slow jam, with lyrics about Brown being secretly drugged by a woman, with the effects of the drug increasing his sexual desires towards her. The single was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Its music video was released on September 22, 2015, and is the first part of the Royalty music videos storyline, being connected in a two part music video with the following single from the album, "Zero". The videoclip follows the lyrical content of the song, with Brown being sneakily drugged by a woman, and later taken to her house. The video garnered positive reception from critics, for its psychedelic and cinematic visuals. Brown performed "Liquor" at the 2015 BET Awards, 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards, and included it on all the setlists of his tours following its release.
