LANY is a three piece alternative band from Los Angeles, California. LANY formed in March 2014 when Paul Klein, who had a small solo career, flew to Nashville to meet up with Jake Goss and Les Priest. Previously, Goss and Priest had a separate project by the name of WRLDS, but this was discontinued after the formation of LANY. The following month they uploaded two songs, 'Hot Lights' and 'Walk Away', to SoundCloud incognito in order to differentiate between their old and new projects. Their debut EP, 'Acronymns' followed later that year, with song 'ILYSB' generating significant traffic online. Singles 'Made In Hollywood' and 'Bad, Bad, Bad' soon followed, along with the reveal of their identities.

We were just two city kids
We would run around, and tear a few things down
But thats the worst that it would get
Bad bad bad, we're in trouble now
Oh, so so so insane
They think they've got us figured out
It was just a crush, but wild and dangerous
You and I were out too late
Started in my car, we might've gone too far
But we were down to make mistakes
Bad, bad, bad, we're in trouble now
Oh, so so so insane
They think they've got us figured out
But we kind of like it that way
They say we're going to hell
Let's find a cheap motel and stay a couple nights
And when our time is done, we'll go back on the run
Do whatever we like
Bad, bad, bad, we're in trouble now
Oh, so so so insane
They think they've got us figured out
But we kind of like it that way
They say we're going to hell
Let's find a cheap motel and stay a couple nights
And when our time is done, we'll go back on the run
Do whatever we like
They say we're going to hell
Let's find a cheap motel and stay a couple nights
And when our time is done, we'll go back on the run
Do whatever we like
The lyrics to Lany’s song “Bad Bad Bad” depict a nostalgic reminiscence of a high school love that was filled with wildness and excitement. The song characterizes two teenagers that were in love and would cause minor havoc, tearful things down, and stay out too late. They indulged in the thrill of the moment and were open to making mistakes as that was what made their love all the more exciting. The chorus “bad, bad, bad, we're in trouble now, oh, so, so, so insane, they think they've got us figured out, but we kind of like it that way” emphasizes the excitement and rebellious nature of their love. This love that they shared was often judged by others, but they didn't care as they found joy in their reckless ways.
The song's lyrics express the idea that the love shared between two people may sometimes be seen as “bad” and unconventional, but this often adds to its appeal. Their love story had the right amount of wildness, danger, and passion that made them feel truly alive. The lyrics show that no matter how much society may frown upon their love, they will continue to relish it and enjoy every moment, even if it leads them down the wrong path.
In conclusion, Lany’s “Bad Bad Bad” is a beautiful love song that paints a picture of two teenagers in love with each other, their recklessness, and their willingness to make mistakes. The lyrics depict a love that blooms in the midst of chaos, and despite society’s judgment, the lovebirds remain unmoved and enjoy their love the best way they know-how.
