Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

But you′re wishing
You could take this off
By the way that you' re looking
No feelings are off
Don′t fake it, now you crave the one thing
But you're hoping that we'll both fall
What happend to those days
Boys were scared to stay amazed
Picked you up for a date Aaah
Met your daddy at the door
Held your hand and nothing more
What happend to those days
Where did the good boys go
Boys like you only want one thing
You like my curves that′s all you gotta say
You got all the wrong intentions
When you′re nude when your lost and
Boys like you are bad news, bad news, bad news
That's all you ever be, bad news, bad news
That′s all you are to me, bad news, bad news
That's all you ever be, bad news, bad news
Boys like you are bad news
Daddy told me: wasting life on you
Want me to be left, what the boy you do

I

I′m not one one famous to lose
What happend to those days
Boys were scared to stay amazed
Picked you up for a date Aaah
Met your daddy at the door
Held your hand and nothing more
What happend to those days
Where did the good boys go
Boys like you only want one thing
You like my curves that's all you gotta say
You got all the wrong intentions
When you′re nude when your lost and
Boys like you are bad news, bad news, bad news
That's all you ever be, bad news, bad news
That's all you are to me, bad news, bad news
That′s all you ever be, bad news, bad news
Boys like you are bad news
I know better than to mess with your tide
Don′t want you thinking i don't want you live
Well entertainer i won′t waste yoor time
Don't waste mine (mine mine mine mine)
Hey boys like you only want one thing
You like my curves that′s all you gotta say
You got all the wrong intentions
When you're nude when your lost and
Boys like you are bad news, bad news, bad news
That′s all you ever be, bad news, bad news
That's all you are to me, bad news, bad news
That's all you ever be, bad news, bad news




Boys like you are bad news
(Bad news bad news bad news bad news bad news bad news bad newd bad news bad news)

Overall Meaning

The song "Bad News" by Kylee Renee talks about the struggles women face when trying to find a good partner. The lyrics start by addressing a situation where the person singing is being pursued by someone who only wants one thing. Despite the physical attraction, the singer knows that they are not in this for anything serious. The theme of the song, however, goes beyond just that one relationship with a 'bad boy.' It tries to capture the larger societal change where genuine and simple relationships are becoming few and far between. The singer wonders about the good old days when people went out on a date, met parents, and held hands without any hidden agenda. It is a reflection on how the dating culture has changed and the traditional concept of love is disappearing. The overall message of the song is to be aware of the people we engage within relationships and not waste time on those who aren't worth it.


The song's lyrics are straightforward, and the delivery from Kylee Renee matches the message. The majority of the song has a pop vibe but carries subtle elements of R&B. Kylee's vocals are powerful and help carry the song's message effectively. The use of a minimalistic beat that builds to a more upbeat chorus helps to convey the change in the singer's mindset. The lyrics of the song add a layer of depth to what could easily be a dance-pop song, and the song does not disappoint.
