On my bad behaviour
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na
Don't get me faded
Don't play my favorite
If you don't wanna see me acting like a fool
If you can't keep up with my bad behavior
You can't contain me
Every time I'm up, I run around you
You know you can't keep up
They ask if it's my birthday
Say "What we celebrating"
Everybody dance around me, dance around me
Mmm, the whole room looking my way
Cause the after-party's my place
I got 'em all around me, all around me
Mmm
Don't wait, not a minute
We here, no limit, no pressure baby
Can't dip, now we in it
It's gonna be a good one
Never no pressure baby
I was unruly when you met me
You just have to accept it
And if you can't handle it
Don't get me faded
Don't play my favorite
If you don't wanna see me acting like a fool
If you can't keep up with my bad behavior
You can't contain me
Every time I'm up I'm all around you
You know you can't keep up
With my bad behavior
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
With my bad behavior
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
With my bad behavior
On you, all the drinks are on you
You know how I like to
So dance around me, dance around me
Don't need a real occasion
'Cause if there isn't then I'll make one
Don't you know about me, know about me
Don't wait, not a minute
We here, no limit, no pressure baby
Can't dip, now we in it
It's gonna be a good one
Never no pressure baby
I was unruly when you met me
You just have to accept it
And if you can't handle it
Don't get me faded
Don't play my favorite
If you don't wanna see me acting like a fool
If you can't keep up with my bad behavior
You can't contain me
'Cause every time I'm up, I'm all around you
You know you can't keep up
With my bad behavior
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
With my bad behavior
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
With my bad behaviour
No I don't mean to tease you
But I'm not a people pleaser
No I don't need a reason
Not doing it for you
I'm just doing it for me, yeah
No I don't mean to tease you
But I'm not a people pleaser
No I don't need a reason
Not doing it for you
I'm just doing it for me, yeah
The song "Bad Behaviour" by Mabel is about being unapologetically oneself and enjoying life to the fullest without worrying about judgement from others. The lyrics talk about the freedom and satisfaction that comes with letting loose and having fun, even if it means sometimes acting foolishly or recklessly. Mabel warns those around her not to try to restrain her or bring her down, as she plans to keep on enjoying life as she pleases. The repeated "na na na" sounds in the chorus emphasize the carefree, playful nature of the song, and invite the listener to join in on the fun.
The song celebrates the idea of living in the moment and creating one's own joy, rather than waiting for a specific occasion or needing external validation. Mabel sings about the power of being oneself, even if it means being unruly or unconventional, and rejecting the pressure to conform or please others. The chorus, with its catchy melody and simple lyrics, encourages the listener to embrace their own "bad behaviour" and join in the party.
Overall, "Bad Behaviour" is a confident anthem of self-expression and liberation, encouraging listeners to let loose and have fun without apology, judgment, or restraint.
