"Liability" came out in March 2017 as the first promotional single from Melodrama, Lorde's second album, landing a week after the lead single "Green Light" and sounding like a different planet. Lorde wrote and produced it with Jack Antonoff: a pop piano ballad with organ and strummed guitar hanging back in the shadows, and a lyric about what her sudden fame cost the friends caught in the media's glare, and what it did to her own emotional health.
Critics praised the writing and the way she sings it. It made modest chart showings, 78 in the US and 84 in the UK, and she debuted it on Saturday Night Live before taking it to Coachella and onto the Melodrama World Tour. Tom Elmhirst mixed it and Laura Sisk engineered.
