“Liability” is new territory for Lorde: it’s a soft, piano-driven ballad that’s far more personal than her previous work. Lorde herself described the song as “a strange part of [herself] for a lot of people to look at.”
She said further in an interview:
It’s kind of not really about anyone. It’s a...
Liability Lyrics
[Intro]
Go for it
One, two
[Verse 1]
Baby really hurt me, crying in the taxi
He don't wanna know me
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
Says it was poison
So I guess I'll go home
Into the arms of the girl that I love
The only love I haven't screwed up
She's so hard to please, but she's a forest fire
I do my best to meet her demands, play at romance
We slow dance in the living room
But all that a stranger would see
Is one girl swaying alone, stroking a cheek
[Chorus]
They say, "You're a little much for me
You're a liability
You're a little much for me"
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I'm a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I'm a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone
[Verse 2]
The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy
Till all of the tricks don't work anymore
And then they are bored of me
I know that it's exciting, running through the night
But every perfect summer's eating me alive until you're gone
Better on my own
[Chorus]
They say, "You're a little much for me
You're a liability
You're a little much for me"
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I'm a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I'm a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone
[Outro]
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

I’m really proud of this bit of songwriting. I feel like I got somewhere they hadn’t been before, which is always a nice feeling as a songwriter.

What has the producer Jack Antonoff said about this song?
He revealed that they “spent forever” on recording this song:
Yeah, we did. To make the decision that a song is going to be a vocal and a piano, the vocal and the piano have to be perfect. And when I say perfect, I mean, whatever it takes to evoke a specific feeling. Are the vocals super dry and in...
