The song "Bad" by TheHxliday is a song about heartbreak and the pain that love can cause. The lyrics talk about the singer’s broken relationship and how love has gone wrong. The song begins with the singer spelling out the word "bad" and repeating "love is bad" and "L-U-V had it all, now it's gone". These lines emphasize the feeling of loss and disappointment in love.
In the following verses, the singer talks about their former significant other, who they thought was "bae" but was, in reality, "too fake". The singer acknowledges that their love was one-sided and that the person they were with couldn't stay in the relationship. They reflect on the rareness of their own love and caring towards their ex, but it still couldn't make things work out. The chorus repeats with the same lyrics for even greater emphasis on the theme of the song.
The bridge of the song shows the singer questioning their ex's love and asking for an explanation. They are seeking for closure before they can move on, and hence they want their lover to look them in their eyes and tell them everything will be alright. The song ends with the singer spelling out his stage name, TheHxliday, and adding his last name "Day" for a final touch.
