Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go)
I know your type (your type)
Yeah daddy's little girl
Just take a bite (one bite)
'Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong
I'm gonna make you lose control
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
You were hanging in the corner
With your five best friends
You heard that I was trouble but you couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go)
I know your type (your type)
Boy you're dangerous
Yeah you're that guy (that guy)
I'd be stupid to trust
But just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me want to lose control
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I've heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go bad)
Oh, she got a way with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with the girls in the back
Actin' like they're too hot to dance
Yeah, she got a way with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with the girls in the back
Actin' like they're too hot to dance
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Them good girls go bad, yeah
(Good girls go bad)
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I've heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
(Good girls go)
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go)
The lyrics of Cobra Starship's song "Good Girls Go Bad" appear to be a story of seduction. The singer boasts in the chorus that he can make good girls go bad, suggesting his immense power of influence. He taunts his prey by stating that he knows their type - from daddyโs little girl to dangerous boy - and he can shake up their world just for one night. The singerโs actions can be seen as reckless, as he seeks to make the girl lose control, and she was so shy until he drove her wild.
The song can be interpreted in different ways, but the most dominant message seems to be that of temptation and undoing. The lyrics suggest that even the most virtuous of individuals can be swayed by a momentary lapse of judgment. The song speaks of testing boundaries and giving in to desires. Overall, "Good Girls Go Bad" encourages listeners to let loose and embrace their inner wild child.

Precisely!
Very well put. Too bad the majority are easily swayed by majority rule of the status quo when it comes outward appearances amongst many other things or like this song.
I clicked on it knowing of that actress & seeing her in films. Didn't know she sings. Upon clicking on this video & hearing it once more it jogged my memory & I remembered this song but at first didn't recognize it at all even by its title.
I now remember this song & remember it being played heavily & I remember how I thought it was HOT GARBAGE pop ๐ฉ back then & still do now upon hearing it again.
It has something like 54 million views if I'm correct so that majority rule thing kinda applies to music as well among other facets of life & how easily humans are conditioned & easily influenced by others.
Anyway I may have got off track there & lost you in my rant.
The main point I was driving at is that I agree very much with your keen observation & your initial post.

I honestly wish I was a teen in this era. I love the music and the fashion so much. And how social media, although dominant, wasnโt as dominant then as it is now (I was born in 2000 lol)
