Scott was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Her mother Gloria McFarlin was a teacher and her father Randolph Scott a pastor. Music was a constant in Scott’s life as her father and two uncles sang in a group called The Scott Three in the 1970s. By age six, LaTocha had begun singing in church, weddings, and local talent shows. By age 11, she had recorded her first song with her father.She now lives with her mother, husband (Rocky Bivens), and son, Jamon.
Prior to joining Xscape, LaTocha had been performing with a group called Precise. While attending Tri-Cities performing arts high school in East Point, Georgia, LaTocha’s sister Tamika met Kandi Burruss. The three began singing together and recruited a fourth member Tamera Coggins, though her time with the group was short lived. After a short while, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle was asked to audition for the girls and Xscape was officially formed. After the group's major debut performance at BET’s Teen Summit in 1992, the girls were introduced to record executive, Ian Burke, who later became the group’s manager. Xscape soon caught the attention of Jermaine Dupri, who later signed the group to his So So Def Recordings.
The group released their debut album, Hummin' Comin' at 'Cha on October 12, 1993. The album peaked at number seventeen on the U.S. Billboard 200 and number three on the Top R&B Albums chart. It was a critical and commercial success, certified platinum within a year, and launched two hit singles. The two lead singles, "Just Kickin' It" and "Understanding", both entered the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The follow-up singles, "Love on My Mind" and "Tonight", did not achieve the same success. The group later appeared on The Mask soundtrack and the soundtrack for the 1995 film Panther, featuring the single "Freedom".
Xscape released their second studio album, Off the Hook, in 1995. Much of the album’s production was by Jermaine Dupri and featured guest vocals from MC Lyte. Four singles were released from the album. "Feel So Good" and "Who Can I Run To" peaked at #32 and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart respectively. The latter release, "Can’t Hang/Do You Want To" was a joint single and reached the top ten of Billboard R&B charts. Off the Hook was certified platinum in 1995. In 1996, the group was featured on MC Lyte's single "Keep On, Keepin' On", which appeared on the Sunset Park soundtrack. The single reached the top 10 on the Bilboard Hot 100 chart. In 1997, as the group’s popularity grew, they appeared on the film soundtracks of Love Jones and Soul Food. In 1997, the group found new management and released their third studio album, Traces Of My Lipstick in 1998. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 28, and featured top 10 hits "The Arms of the One Who Loves You" and "My Little Secret" which Scott co-wrote with Jermaine Dupri, earning the pair an ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Music Award. In early 1998, Xscape was featured on the Keith Sweat produced single, "Am I Dreamin'", by R&B new-comer group Ol' Skool.
Emerging as a solo artist, LaTocha appeared solo on NFL Jamz in 1998 with a song entitled, "Promises". She later released the single, "Liar Liar", which appeared on The Best Man soundtrack in 1999. By the early 2000s, Scott had ventured more into performing as a solo artist. She soon reconnected with ex-manager Michael Mauldin and earned a recording contract with Sony Urban. Scott’s debut solo album with Sony was never released due to label issues, forcing her to leave the label in 2001. Shortly after, Scott collaborated with rapper Trick Daddy on the song, "Thug Holiday" in 2002. Without major label distribution, Scott eventually completed her debut album, Solo Flight 404, featuring the single, "Still Ghetto". In 2004, Scott, along with Tamika Scott, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, and new member Kiesha Miles, attempted to revamp Xscape. They released the single, "What’s Up" in 2005 but the reconciliation was short lived and the group ultimately disbanded in 2005. Around the same time, LaTocha made her first film appearance in the 2005 comedy, Fair Game.
LaTocha Scott has recently released a new single entitled, "Bad Timing" from her upcoming studio album, due to be released in late 2012. She starred in the second season of the TV One show R&B Divas: Atlanta in 2013.
Liar Liar
LaTocha Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never gonna put you out,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna break your heart,
Never gonna mess around.
Never gonna tell you lies,
Never gonna make you cry,
All those things you said,
I'm out here all alone,
And I'm feeling let down,
My heart's broken up in two,
I'm wondering what was true.
Hearing all the shit you said,
Now somebody else is in your bed,
And now that I've got your attention...
[Chorus:]
Listen to the sound of me breaking down, down, down,
Can't hear me losing my mind?
Everything that's everything is nothing,
And I can't tell your truth from your lies.
This is the sound of me breaking down, down, down,
Over and over in my head.
You're a liar, a liar, a liar.
[Verse Two:]
So why don't you just hush up all that noise,
That's all it ever was.
Hope you're gonna try to confess,
What you should've said.
Just a simple friend,
I didn't mean to fall in love,
Well I fell for the spell that you cast,
And as if that wasn't enough.
No hold up right now (wait a minute baby),
I gotta get this off my chest somehow,
'cause I'm running out of ways to say just what I mean,
Can you tell by the look on my face,
That I just want to scream.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Break:]
All the things we do in the heat of the moment,
It can cost you a lifetime of happiness.
All the things we do in the heat of the moment,
For many days to come can cause you nothing but distress.
All the things we said in the heat of the moment,
You may think everything's going right,
But the very next day they change.
All the things you said in the heat of the moment...
[Repeat Chorus to fade]
[Outro:]
Sometimes in our lives,
See there's right or wrong, right or wrong, right or wrong,
See I'm here to let why'all know,
That my life, my life, my life,
That my life goes on
In the first verse of LaTocha Scott’s song “Liar Liar”, the singer establishes her frustration with her romantic partner. The partner had promised to never hurt her, but she’s now alone and heartbroken. She wonders if anything the partner had said to her was true. In the chorus, she breaks down and calls the person a liar. In the second verse, she reflects on falling in love with a friend, even though that wasn’t her intention. She was spellbound by the partner until she found out they were lying.
The break in the song warns listeners about the mistakes people make in the heat of the moment. You may believe everything’s going well, but things can quickly change. The heat of the moment can lead to a lifetime of unhappiness. In the song's outro, the singer reflects on right and wrong in life, but insists that her life must go on.

And now that I've got your attention
[1] - Listen to the sound of me breaking down, down, down
Can't you hear me losing my mind?
Everything that's everything is nothing
And I can't tell your truth from all your lies
This is the sound of me breaking down, down, down
Over and over again in my head
You're a liar, a liar, a liar yes
So why don't you just hush up all that noise? (noise)
That's all it ever was (was)
How you gonna try and confess?

That I just wanna scream

All the things we do in the heat of the moment
When all the days to come can bring you nothing but distress
All the things we said in the heat of the moment
You may think that everything is going right till the very next day
Of all the things you said in the heat of the moment
