Bad Liar


"Bad Liar" is a pop rock track by Imagine Dragons, released in 2018 as the fourth single from their fourth studio album, Origins. Written by all four band members alongside Aja Volkman and Jorgen Odegard, the song showcases the band's polished, guitar-driven sound. For electric guitar players, it offers a solid study in melodic rock riffing and the restrained, textured playing style that defines the Origins era.

  • "Bad Liar" was released on November 6, 2018, through Interscope and Kidinakorner records as a single.
  • All four Imagine Dragons members — McKee, Platzman, Reynolds, and Sermon — share songwriting credits on this track.
  • The song appears on Origins (Deluxe), the fourth studio album by Imagine Dragons, released in 2018.

Fender Telecaster

Wayne Sermon's primary instrument for Imagine Dragons, the Telecaster's bright single-coil pickups and natural clarity enable his precise palm-muting technique and aggressive downpicking to cut through without heavy effects. The high-output bridge pickup paired with increased action prevents buzz during the band's clean-to-slightly-overdriven tones, making every picking articulation audible.
