When I first heard Liar, I thought it was an answer to MTT.

I was wrong. Liar happened in the same chain of events NBTS and ATY did. And I’m gonna show you why:

I don’t care if you’re here Or if you’re not alone I don’t care, it’s been too long It’s kinda like we didn’t happen The way that your lips move The way you whisper slow I don’t care, it’s good as gone

Camila is giving herself a prep talk that she doesn’t care about Lauren anymore. If we believe in PM, this all would be when Lauren arranged for them to meet after some insistence. The “if you’re not alone” and “it’s been too long” allude to All These Years:

Couldn’t help but overhear you/ Sounds like you’re happy with her

‘Cause after all these years I still feel everything when you are near

I said I won’t lose control, I don’t want it I said I won’t get too close, but I can’t stop it

Camila’s way of asserting control over her own feelings in this situation is avoiding confrontation. That’s why Lauren had such a hard time convincing her to meet up this time. It’s because Camila knows that, once Lauren is around, she can’t really trust herself. It’s the kind of intoxicating situation detailed in Señorita, Burning, MTT, and NBTS - therefore a part of Camren narrative.

Lauren even acknowledges it on NBTS by telling Camila to stop playing safe and lose control. Also on NBTS, Camila recognizes that running away from her feelings is useless.

Oh no, there you go, making me a liar Got me begging you for more Oh no, there I go, startin’ up a fire

It doesn’t take long for Camila to give in. An interesting parallel here: while Lauren asks Camila to light up her fire in Burning, Camila finds herself starting up a fire in Liar. Meaning… #camilatops

You’re watching, I feel it (Hey) I know I shouldn’t stare (Yeah, yeah) I picture your hands on me But what if, you kiss me? (Yeah) And what if, I like it? And no one sees it

Another sign Lauren is coming after Camila this time is that Lolo is the one watching and Baby C is the one pretending not to see it… as opposed to what’s been told in MTT, where Lauren knows Camila is watching and teases her on purpose.

Oh no, you’re making me a liar ‘Cause my clothes are on the floor
