"Boy's a Liar" is a song by British singer PinkPantheress. Released in 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.

[PinkPantheress:]
Take a look inside your heart, is there any room for me?
I won't have to hold my breath till you get down on one knee
Because you only want to hold me when I'm looking good enough
Did you ever feel me? Would you ever picture us?
Every time I pull my hair, well, it's only out of fear
That you'll find me ugly and one day you'll disappear because

What's the point of crying? It was never even love
Did you ever want me? Was I ever good enough?

The boy's a liar, the boy's a liar
He doesn't see ya, you're not looking at me, boy
The boy's a liar, the boy's a liar
He doesn't see ya, you're not looking at me, boy

Good enough, good enough
Good enough, good enough
Good enough, good enough
Good enough, good enough

[Ice Spice:]
He say that I'm good enough, callin' my dodrr
Think about shit that I shouldn't've
So I tell him that it's one of me, he makin' fun of me (Ha-ha)
His girl is a bum of, like that boy is a cap
Sayin' he home, but I know where he at, like
Bet he blowin' her back
Thinkin' 'bout me 'cause he know that ass fat (Damn)
And it been what it been (Uh, huh)
Calling his phone like "Yo, send me your pen"
Duckin' my shit, 'cause he know what I'm on
But when he hit me I'm not gon' respond
But I don't sleep enough without you
And I can't eat enough without you
If you don't speak, does that mean we through?
Don't like sneaky shit that you do (Grr)

[PinkPantheress:]
The boy's a liar, the boy's a liar
He doesn't see ya, you're not looking at me, boy
The boy's a liar, the boy's a liar
He doesn't see ya, you're not looking at me, boy

Good enough, good enough
Good enough, good enough
Good enough, good enough
Good enough, good enough
