On June 12, Selena Gomez – executive producer of recent Netflix series 13 Reasons Why – posted a movie poster-style photo titled “Bad Liar”, saying that the film was coming up. The unique promotion of the music video actually made it feel more like a movie that had the potential to be longer, though it isn’t dissimilar to other plot-heavy videos.
The “film” is about a love-struck youngster finding it difficult to ignore her feelings and sees Gomez playing all of the main characters. The protagonist spends the whole video pining for someone who is just out of reach, and features several students whispering and cutting Gomez cold looks in the opening scenes (which reminded me of several scenes in 13 Reasons Why).
“Bad Liar” was first released on May 18 along with an exclusive Spotify music video which featured Gomez on a bed with her hands tied (which now looks to be unavailable, but here’s a clip).
