JUNGLEPUSSY released ''Satisfaction Guaranteed'' as her debut album on June 10th, 2014. The album featured previously heard tracks ''Satisfaction Guaranteed'', ''Picky Bitch Checklist'' and ''Curve 'Em'', plus 8 new tracks, including one bonus track.
JUNGLEPUSSY is funny, sexy and often provocative; she freely expresses her sexuality and has been compared to fellow female rap provocateur Lil' Kim. She listens to artists such as Missy Elliott, Ladysaw, Kelis, Busta Rhymes, Vybz Kartel, Movado, The Veronicas, Metric, Gossip & Soulja Boy, but has said that she cannot pinpoint one key influence. ''Artists are human, and they have all existed, so they are all there to learn from and be appreciated and observed.'', she told Interview magazine.

Bad News
JUNGLEPUSSY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that you'll be back again
The way it goes down
I know that you'll be back again
Looking back at my ass
Moving on on my own, on my own, on my own
On my own, on my own, on my own
Some places I simply don't belong
I'm not your little candy store, yeah
I'm not the one you wanna talk to in the morning
I got bad news
I got bad news
But it's so true
I got bad news
I got bad news
But it's so true
You know
When your friend hits your phone asking if you're okay
And you're absolutely not
What do you say?
"I'm okay, it's fine," but it's really not
Yeah, I'm super hot
Watch all these bitches give me props when the casket drops
Watch all these bitches give me props when the casket drops
All these bitches on my, uh, when I'm up in the spot
Watch these bitches give me props when the casket drops
The way it goes down
I know that you'll be back again
The way it goes down
I know that you'll be back again
The opening lines of JUNGLEPUSSY's song "Bad News" suggest that someone may have left her, but she knows they will return. She is confident in the cycle of their relationship and the way it works: they come and go. She then references her past, possibly alluding to a time when her ex would stare at her backside. But now, she is moving on "on her own." JUNGLEPUSSY acknowledges that there are some places where she doesn't belong, but that doesn't matter because she knows her worth. She wants her ex to understand that she is not a "little candy store" that he can come to whenever he wants. Furthermore, she is not the person he wants to talk to in the morning.
The refrain, "I got bad news, but it's so true," is repeated multiple times throughout the song. The bad news may be the breakup or the fact that she is now an independent woman. In the second verse, JUNGLEPUSSY questions what to say when asked if she's okay by a friend. She admits that she's not, but lies and says she is. She is "super hot" despite everything going on, and she knows that when she dies, all the bitches in the club will give her props.
Overall, "Bad News" is a song about empowerment and self-worth. JUNGLEPUSSY acknowledges past hurt but moves on with confidence, knowing her worth and that her ex will come back.
