| Song |
"I'm Good at Being Bad" is a song recorded by R&B girl group TLC for their third album, Fanmail. The track was inspired by and is similar to the song "What About..." which is featured on Janet Jackson's controversial 1997 album, The Velvet Rope. The song was released unofficially as the second overall single from the album around the time "No Scrubs" was sent to radio. Despite not ever receiving an official airplay or commercial release, the song peaked within the top 40 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. Left Eye's rap section of the song was included in the "Unpretty" music video.
Background
Due to its strong unofficial success in on American urban radio, "I'm Good at Being Bad" was scheduled to be released as the second single from Fanmail, but was replaced by "Unpretty" because the girls (most notably Left Eye) felt that the song's lyrics were too explicit and unsuitable for their younger audience. If you listen to the beginning of the song really closely, you can hear part of the outro for the song "No Scrubs" as the song follows the hit single on the tracklisting of the album.

Different Version
When the song was originally released on FanMail, it clocked in at 5:39 and featured a sample of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby." On the edited version of the album, the song removed part off the end and clocked in at 5:25. Then, the Donna Summer sample was removed from the explicit version of the album, making the 'new explicit version' clock in at 4:37. It is believed that Summer did not want her song sampled in a song as dirty as this song, and that's why the sample was removed.
