Selena Gomez takes a break from her romance with singer, songwriter The Weeknd to release her brand new single "Bad Liar" from her upcoming album of the same name.
The song is written by songwriter of the moment Julia Michaels and Justin Tranterit of the band Semi Precious Weapons. The track features a guitar riff that some may recognize from The Talking Heads "Pyscho Killer," in an interview with Rolling stone Tranter discusses how the arrangement came up. "Selena and Julia are Talking Heads-obsessed," he said. "So when we all got together in one room, Julia suggested, 'Why don't we just write over the bassline from 'Psycho Killer?' and we were all going, 'That sounds great!'"
Talking Heads' David Byrne reportedly gave "Bad Liar" his blessing. "He heard it, loved it and approved it," Tranter added. "To have David Byrne listed next to our names is just so cool."
"So great to hear the legacy of our song, 'Psycho Killer,' and Tina’s legendary style of bass playing, quoted so prominently. Was a big surprise and a delight to learn that a new generation is getting introduced to both," Talking Heads dummer Chris Frantz (who is Weymouth’s husband) told Variety.
Weymouth added, "It's good to be appreciated."
