The lyrics of Wizkid's song "Bad to Me" are centered around a love interest whom he cannot resist despite the toll it takes on him. From the very first line, Wizkid is all in on this girl who is giving him a headache. He is so entranced by her that he is happy to do things her way or his way, and he has already had "two shots," indicating that he is a bit drunk on her presence. Despite any bad thoughts that may come his way, she remains on his mind all day, and he cannot help but want more and more of her.
The chorus of the song emphasizes just how bad this girl is to him, with Wizkid saying that she makes him choke with desire for her, and they love until the morning comes. Her addictive quality is also highlighted, with the only one who knows how she makes Wizkid feel being the girl herself. The song ends with ad-libs in which Casamigos tequila is mentioned, as well as the phrase "wa jogede," which translates to "come dance" in English.
Overall, "Bad to Me" is a love song that showcases the intoxicating nature of being denied someone's love while also illustrating just how much it can drive someone to act out of character.
