Bad
Vassy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I say why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
Getting what I want, boy
Why does that make you so mad?

You see, why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
'Cause if it's trouble that you're looking for
Oh baby, here I am (I am)

Oh baby, here I am

I said why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad (bad)

I say why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
Getting what I want, boy
Why does that make you so mad?

You see, why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
'Cause if it's trouble that you're looking for
Oh baby, here I am (I am)

Oh baby, here I am





I say why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad

Overall Meaning

Vassy's song "Bad" is an upbeat, danceable pop song about the thrill of being a little bit naughty. The lyrics speak to the rush of breaking the rules and getting what you want, even if it makes others upset or angry. The repeated refrain of "why does it feel so good / so good to be bad" is both a celebration of that feeling and a recognition that there might not be a straightforward answer to why we're drawn to the taboo.


Throughout the song, Vassy poses this question to her listeners, wondering out loud why she feels so addicted to doing the things that might be considered "bad". She sings about getting what she wants, even if it comes at a cost, and revels in the power that comes with breaking free from societal expectations. In the chorus, she challenges anyone who's looking for trouble to come find her, knowing full well that she's the one who can take it.


While the lyrics of "Bad" are fairly straightforward, the song stands out for its catchy melody and upbeat production. Vassy's vocals are both smooth and confident, and the electronic pop beat drives the song forward with an infectious energy. It's the kind of song that makes you want to dance and sing along, even as you ponder the deeper questions it raises about human nature and our attraction to the "bad" things in life.
