It has interplotations of the Isley Brothers‘ “Footsteps In the Dark”, which was famously sampled on Ice Cube’s “It Was a Good Day”.
Bad Day
Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You would let me down that easy (oh no, girl)
And I didn't think, it was over
Until you walked away, like it was nothing, baby
And that moment was so hard for me to breathe, yeah
'Cause you took away the biggest part of me, yeah
Life is so unpredictable, yeah
Never thought a love like yours would leave me all alone (oh no)
Didn't waste any time
Like you had already made up your mind
No sympathy, 'cause I was out of line (oh, yeah)
But I didn't think you would let me, down that easy (oh no, girl)
And I didn't think it was over
Until you walked away
Like it was nothing girl, it was a bad day (hey, hey, hey girl)
I know I was wrong
But you could have said "goodbye" baby, it was a bad day
Now I'm like, woo
It was a bad day
It was a bad day
It was a bad day
The lyrics to Justin Bieber's song Bad Day describe the aftermath of a breakup that caught the singer by surprise. He confesses that he did not think his partner would walk away from the relationship so easily, and the suddenness of her departure made it difficult for him to process his emotions. The singer is left feeling lost and heartbroken as he realizes that the love he once shared with his partner is gone. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "it was a bad day" which seems to be Bieber's way of acknowledging that the end of the relationship was a significant event in his life, one that left him feeling bereft and emotionally drained.
Bieber's use of the phrase "it was a bad day" is interesting in its ambiguity. On the one hand, it can be seen as a way of minimizing the pain of the breakup, by suggesting that it was just a temporary setback that he can rise above. On the other hand, the repetition of the phrase suggests a more profound level of suffering and struggle, as if he is trying to convince himself that he can get through this tough period. It is also worth noting that the song was released in 2013, around the same time that Bieber was experiencing a great deal of personal and professional turmoil, which may have influenced the lyrics and the theme of the song.
Overall, the lyrics to Bad Day suggest a sense of loss and longing, as Bieber tries to come to terms with the end of a relationship that he did not see coming. Through his candid lyrics and emotive delivery, he conveys the raw emotions of heartbreak and disappointment that many people can relate to.
