Boy's a Liar Pt. 2

After Ice Spice posted the original version of "Boy's a Liar" on her Instagram story, PinkPantheress replied asking to collaborate, hoping to "culturally... stamp this song into [2023]". PinkPantheress used the stems of the instrumental by Mura Masa, who was uninvolved in the remix, to produce the remix. "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" was released on 3 February 2023 through Parlophone, Elektra Records, and 3EE as the lead single of PinkPantheress's debut studio album Heaven Knows. "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" is largely the same as the original song with the exception of the second verse, which is replaced by an additional verse from Ice Spice. Ice Spice raps with a "raspy voice" and a "collected, indifferent delivery" about a deceitful lover who is already in a relationship. She ends her verse by "drop[ping] her invulnerable posture", rapping, "But I don't sleep enough without you/And I can't eat enough without you". == Music video and promotion ==

For NPR, Hazel Cills wrote that "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" "encapsulated all the things PinkPantheress does best: sweet and salty minimalist pop with a deep, emotional core at close listen", while LaTesha Harris praised it as "never overstay[ing] its welcome", calling Ice Spice's verse "funny". For Dork, Abigail Firth wrote that adding the song to the end of the album was "unnecessary" and "the only part of Heaven Knows that feels like an afterthought". For Pitchfork, Matthew Ritchie called "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" "an impeccable team-up from a baddie and her baddie friend" and Colin Joyce described it as "a pillowy, pastel-hued club cut" that "represented PinkPantheress pushing at the boundaries of her ambition". Complexs Joe Price wrote that "Ice Spice effortlessly blends into the track on the remix" and Stereogums Tom Breihan wrote that the song "works" and that there was "something really fun about the idea of PinkPantheress and Ice Spice making music together". Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic wrote that "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" was "undeniably catchy and yet feels as fleeting as a mild dream" and that what was "most remarkable about the song" was "its featherweight feeling". Paul Simpson of AllMusic praised the song as a "joyous dance-pop delight". Rolling Stone, Vulture, The Week, and American Songwriter considered the absence of "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" from the nominations for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, particularly in the Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist (for PinkPantheress) categories, to be a snub. == Charts ==
