"Liar" is the fifth track (first on side two) and, in the USA and Canada, second single of English rock band Queen's first album, "Queen".

"Liar" was written by Freddie Mercury in 1970 while he was still Freddie Bulsara.

As confirmed by the transcription on EMI Music Publishing's "Off The Record" sheet music for the song, this is the only Queen track, besides "Now I'm Here" and "Under Pressure" (their collaboration with David Bowie), to feature a Hammond organ.

In the earlier years of Queen, this song was regarded as one of the most impressive performances of a live show, often going over 8 minutes long. However over time the song eventually fell off the setlist, with the exception of The Works Tour. The song though was cut down to 3 minutes or less.

During live performances, it one of the few songs when bass player John Deacon sang backing vocals at all. This was done during the part where the band says "all day long." He mimics the promotional video for the song, where Deacon stands behind Freddie, and sings into his microphone.
