Review
“Bad News” is a fierce, intoxicating track that oozes confidence and attitude. With sultry vocals and a hypnotic beat, the track effortlessly blends pop, R&B, and a hint of rockstar rebellion. From the opening lines—“Kiss me on my mouth, babe, Ninety miles per hour”—the song pulls listeners into a whirlwind of desire, power, and playful detachment.
The hook is pure ear candy, with the infectious repetition of “Think I’m crazy for you, Don’t I got some bad news” making it clear this isn’t a love song—it’s a power move. Lyrical zingers like “God is good, I am not, I’m a pop star” add a sharp edge, flipping expectations with wit and swagger.
This track is bold, addictive, and dripping with main-character energy.
