David Guetta & Showtek Dt. Vassy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I say why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
Getting what I want, boy
Why does that make you so mad?

You see, why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
'Cause if it's trouble that you're looking for
Oh baby, here I am (I am)

Oh baby, here I am

I said why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad (bad)

I say why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
Getting what I want, boy
Why does that make you so mad?

You see, why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
'Cause if it's trouble that you're looking for
Oh baby, here I am (I am)

Oh baby, here I am





I say why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of David Guetta and Showtek's song 'BAD' focuses on the exhilaration of breaking rules and the enjoyment that comes with embracing one's dark side. The first verse voices the singer's confusion about why indulging in their wickedness gives them immense joy. They revel in their rebellion and the rush that comes with it. The chorus repeats the question twice, reinforcing the idea that being bad feels satisfying. The second verse drives this point further, asking why others feel infuriated when they get what they want. It's almost as if the singer is daring their naysayers to join them in their mischievous pursuits.


The song's overall message is one of empowerment and living life on your terms, even if it means going against societal expectations. It's a theme that resonates with many, as it taps into the primal nature of human beings who crave the excitement of the unknown. The catchy beat and throbbing bassline drive the lyrics' message home, making it an anthem for anyone who wants to let loose and be bad.
