About This Track
A piano ballad stripped almost to nothing, 'Liability' is Lorde turning the feeling of being 'too much' over in her hands, the fear that intensity drives people away. Written in the wake of fame and a break-up, it is among her most quietly devastating songs: a self-portrait that doubles as comfort for anyone who has felt the same.
"Liability" is a single by Lorde, from the album Melodrama, released 15th June 2017. The track is 2:52 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Lorde.

**Lorde** has always been something of a pop maverick. Breakout single ‘Royals’ and with it, debut album ‘Pure Heroine’, switched the mainstream conversation around radio-friendly hits from big and bombastic to sparse, emotional and delicate. The then-16-year-old inspired a wave of artists (both breaking and established) and in a few more years, should rightly be credited for opening the door for the entire bedroom pop genre.
