"Liar Liar" is the first internationally charting single by the American singer-songwriter Cris Cab, released on Island Def Jam Records.

Contents

It was written by Cab, Dallas Austin and Pharrell Williams and produced by Austin and Williams. Though Williams is featured in the song and the accompanying music video he is not officially credited on the cover of the single as a featured artist.

Music video

A music video for the single was filmed by Aggressive, directed by Alex Topaller and Dan Shapiro and produced by Shapiro and Kelvin Carver. The video, shot in black and white, shows Cab strumming his guitar, or singing or in a relationship with some mysterious women. The video is an array of such women, an "arresting symmetry" [1] in light and in shadow about some dangerous relationships with these attractive women showing off with their parallel mirrored images. Pharrell Williams makes a cameo appearance. Visuals and bits of intimate narrative are revealed and obscured by these reflections, teasing the viewer that there is tantalizing truth to be revealed. The video ends with one of the girls "capturing" Cab and tying him to a chair.

Chart performance

The single first charted on the Dutch Top 40 in 2013 reaching number 9. It has since become an international hit for him, peaking at number 14 on the Dutch Single Top 100, number 25 in Germany and becoming a charting hit in France [2] and in Belgium in both Flanders and French language markets.
