PEYTON LIST ON HER LEAP INTO ADULTHOOD WITH "LIAR LIAR"


Peyton List is most known by fans for her role as Emma inĀ Disneyā€™s JessieĀ and Bunk’d, but now sheā€™s making waves with her newĀ single entitled ā€œLiar, Liarā€. The track is the essence of driving electro-popĀ and features bold catchy melodies paired with raw honest lyrics. The songĀ signifies her leap into adulthood, breaking the Disney bubble. I got the chanceĀ to interview Peyton, discovering her process in creating the single and her upcomingĀ plans for her music.

What was your inspiration behind ā€œLiar, Liarā€ and was there an actual guy in your life you felt was unfaithful?
 
It was less of a guy more of people who have hurt me or betrayed me. People who have thought I was weak because Iā€™m kind. This song very much shows a side of me I donā€™t show a lot of people. Itā€™s more a moving on the song for me. Saying you lied, I know the facts, Iā€™m done, have a nice life.
 
The single features unfiltered lyrics that are straightforward and honest, what was your writing process like when creating the track?
 
I was honestly surprised I ended up putting out “Liar Liar” because it very much felt the most unfiltered Iā€™ve ever been with people who arenā€™t in my immediate circle. I thought Iā€™d choose a safer song when the time came.
 
I work with producers over at Dirty Canvas, and their buddies Jackson and Ryder wrote it. The song spoke to me immediately I wanted to scream it and sing it over and over. Any song that can bring out the bad bitch buried deep down, ha.
 
ā€œLiar, Liarā€ is infectious electro-pop, is that a genre youā€™ve always been drawn to and who are some of your musical inspirations?
 
The past couple of years it really is the sound Iā€™ve been attracted to. Iā€™m going to drop my playlist for you because it is basically a hodgepodge of my musical inspirations.
 
What does the future look like for you as an artist and what can your fans expect next?
 
Oh, Iā€™m going to get back in the studio right after the holidays. I was so blown away by how positive everyone responded Iā€™m so grateful. Canā€™t wait to record more music for them.
