Camila Cabello has explained the outrageous video for the new single, “Liar,” which features a woman reliving the same scenario over and over again, Groundhog Day-style.

“The video is pretty crazy and ridiculous...but the messages are what make me most proud of it,” she said on social media. “I wanted one of the themes to be true love over materialism...the other message I love in it is about living your truth.”

“The first time I try to lie, life immediately punishes me by making me choke to death,” she explains, referring to the first scene, where she dies while attempting to tell her rich jerk of a fiancé that she hates him. “Then I try to avoid [the conflict] by telling little truths, but not the actual BIG truth, which is that I’m unhappy with this...seemingly perfect fiance,” she continues. “So every time I try to ignore it, the messages become louder and louder, so I relive the same day and die every time I don’t say the real truth.”

“When I finally admit [the truth] to my fiance...the...loop is broke!” she adds. “Moral of the story: Live your truth and choose LOVE over all the other BS that doesn’t really matter.”

Meanwhile, the international humanitarian organization Save the Children presented Camila with its Voice Award for her “extraordinary dedication to speaking up on behalf of the world’s most vulnerable children.”

“I really hope to work with @savethechildren for the rest of my life, I felt so humbled and so inspired to be in a room full of people that dedicate their lives to making kids’ lives better all over the world,” Camila said.

“One of my favorite quotes is ‘humanity owes the child the best it has to give.’ And Save the Children, you guys are doing just that,” she said, accepting the award. “Changing the courses of kids and families lives all over the world.”

Cabello, who serves as an ambassador for the organization, visited Save the Children’s programs in Puerto Rico following a devastating hurricane last year.
