John… Read Full Bio ↴Johnny Orlando (born 24 January 2003) is a Canadian pop singer.
Johnny first expressed his passion for music at the tender age of eight, after posting his first YouTube cover with the help of his older sister. They created the music video as a fun Christmas break activity, and posted it online to share with their friends and family. After a few weeks the video racked up a few thousand views from strangers, so the two decided to continue to post. Over the next few years Johnny’s fan base grew, and exploded into massive growth near the end of 2015. His dedication and connection to his fans landed him the 18th spot on Zefr Inc’s “Top 100 Influencers” alongside the likes of Justin Bieber (16th) and Casey Neistat (19th). Johnny received his first Teen Choice Nomination in 2016, and grew his fan base to over 10 million across all of his social platforms.
Johnny experienced his first domestic tour in 2016 with MAGCON, performing for thousands of fans across the country and kicked off his first headlining tour in 2017 with Mackenzie Ziegler throughout North America and Europe.
Since the successful release of his single “Let Go” in June of 2016, Johnny has released two other original singles. In December of 2016 he released “Day and Night” with Dance Moms star Mackenzie Ziegler, and later “Missing You” in January of 2017, all three singles charting on the iTunes top 100 pop charts. Johnny plans to continue developing his passion for music and exploring the possibilities as a social media and pop culture influencer.

Ooh-ooh
Long nights are getting longer
Can't bury this anxiety
It's only getting stronger
I tried but I can't fake it
You changed my mind but not my heart
And I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to let you know (let you know)
That I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to let you go
'Cause I'm bad, bad news
Yes, I'm no good for you
And I thought I could be the one
But I'm not fooling anyone
I'm bad, bad news
It's the sad, sad truth
And I thought I knew how to love
But baby I was born to run I'm
Bad, bad, bad, bad news (bad news)
Bad, bad, bad, bad news
Some words hurt worse than weapons
I push them down, they tear me up
I didn't wanna let them out
'Cause your eyes are filled with questions
But all my answers lead to tears
Too late to say I'm sorry now
And I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to let you know (let you know)
That I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to let you go
'Cause I'm bad, bad news
Yes I'm no good for you
And I thought I could be the one
But I'm not fooling anyone
I'm bad, bad news
It's the sad, sad truth
And I thought I knew how to love
But baby I was born to run I'm
Bad, bad, bad, bad news (bad news)
Bad, bad, bad, bad news
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Ooh-ooh
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
And I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to let you know (let you know)
That I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to let you go
'Cause I'm bad, bad news
Yes I'm no good for you
And I thought I could be the one
But I'm not fooling anyone
I'm bad, bad news
It's the sad, sad truth
And I thought I knew how to love (ooh-ooh)
But baby I was born to run I'm
Bad, bad, bad, bad news (bad news)
Bad, bad, bad, bad news
Bad, bad, bad, bad news (bad news)
Bad, bad, bad, bad news
The lyrics to Johnny Orlando's song "Bad News" explore the inner turmoil of a person struggling to let go of a relationship that they know is not good for them. The lyrics speak to the conflicting emotions of letting go of someone you care about, but also knowing that it is the right thing to do. The lines, "Long nights are getting longer, Can't bury this anxiety, It's only getting stronger" reveal the internal struggle of the singer and their inability to shake off the negative feelings that their relationship brings.
The chorus "Cause I'm bad, bad news, Yes, I'm no good for you, And I thought I could be the one, But I'm not fooling anyone" is the highlight of the song and the most telling. The singer acknowledges that their partner deserves better and that they are not the person for them. The use of repetitive "bad, bad news" emphasizes the reality of the situation, and the repetition of the phrase "I'm trying" reveals the effort that the singer is putting in to distance themselves.

Long nights are getting longer
The situation is getting worse every day
Can't bury this anxiety
I can't forget my worries
It's only getting stronger
My anxiety is increasing over time
I tried but I can't fake it
I tried to pretend, but I couldn't continue doing it
You changed my mind but not my heart
I may have changed my mind about something, but my feelings remain unchanged
That's why it's complicated
That's why this situation is difficult to deal with
And I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to let you know (let you know)
I am trying to inform you
That I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to let you go
I am trying to move on
'Cause I'm bad, bad news
I am not a good person to be with
Yes, I'm no good for you
Being with me is not healthy for you
And I thought I could be the one
I thought I could be the person you were looking for
But I'm not fooling anyone
But I can't deceive anyone
It's the sad, sad truth
The reality is quite tragic
And I thought I knew how to love
I thought I could love someone properly
But baby, I was born to run
But I am always running away from things
Some words hurt worse than weapons
Words can hurt as much as physical harm
I push them down, they tear me up
I suppress my feelings, but it only makes it worse
I didn't wanna let them out
I did not want to express my feelings
'Cause your eyes are filled with questions
Because I see confusion in your eyes
But all my answers lead to tears
But my explanations only make you upset
Too late to say I'm sorry now
Apologizing now wouldn't make any difference
