"Why You Treat Me So Bad" is a 1987 single by Club Nouveau from its 1986 album Life, Love & Pain. The basic melodic hook of the song is taken from a hit by Club Nouveau member Jay King's previous project as producer, Timex Social Club (namely, the song "Thinkin' About Ya"). In turn, the song has since been sampled on "I Got 5 on It" by Luniz, "Only U" by Ashanti, "Satisfy You" by Puff Daddy featuring R. Kelly,[1] "I'm Gonna Be Alright" by Jennifer Lopez featuring Nas, and the So So Def Remix to "Irresistible" by Jessica Simpson. Gwen Stefani's 2004 solo debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. was initially conceived after she listened to the song while on tour with No Doubt.[2]
