Christina Milian delivers a stinging anti-Valentine’s Day anthem in the form of new tune ‘Liar,’ which can now boast a video treatment.

An intimate affair that details the singer’s frustration with her unfaithful lover, the timeliness of the song and clip’s release also comes on the heels of her breakup with longtime beau Lil Wayne (amidst ongoing rumors of his infidelity during their courtship).

‘Liar’ leads the latest charge for consumer interest for ‘4U’ – Milian’s first lengthy musical project in nearly 10 years (see:  2006’s ‘So Amazin’).  Following the tunes ‘Rebel’ and ‘Do It,’ will ‘Liar’ be the singer’s true return to commercial relevance?
