"Bad Guy" on YouTube |
"Bad Guy" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish. Darkroom and Interscope Records released it as the fifth single from her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? on March 29, 2019. Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell co-wrote "Bad Guy", with the latter producing it and the former providing additional production. The song was described as pop-trap and nu-goth pop in press reviews, for which synth bass, a kick drum, finger snaps and 808 bass provide minimalist instrumentation. During the song's lyrics, Eilish taunts her lover for being a bad guy although suggesting that she is more resilient than he is. The song is also about misandry and sarcasm.
Upon its release, "Bad Guy" mainly received positive reviews from music critics, several of whom praised its lyrics. It was also likened to music recorded by the White Stripes, Lorde and Fiona Apple. "Bad Guy" was a commercial success, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, as well as on the charts in Australia, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway and Russia. In the United States, "Bad Guy" ended the record-breaking 19-week run of "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus. "Bad Guy" also peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, among others. It has been awarded several certifications, most notably a quintuple platinum award from Music Canada.
Dave Meyers directed the music video for "Bad Guy" which was uploaded onto Eilish's YouTube channel at the same time as the single's digital release. The video depicts Eilish being involved in several activities, including wild dancing, suffering a nosebleed and sitting on the back of a man doing push-ups. Reviewers noted the video for its camp elements and eccentric imagery. Eilish promoted the song by performing it live at venues including Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Glastonbury Festival and during her 2019 When We All Fall Asleep Tour. On July 11, 2019, a remix of "Bad Guy" featuring Canadian singer Justin Bieber was released to mixed response.

Billie Eilish released her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? on March 29, 2019, via Darkroom and Interscope Records.[2][3] "Bad Guy" was simultaneously issued as the record's fifth single.[4] The song was co-written by Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell. The latter also produced the track, alongside additional production by Eilish. It was mastered by John Greenham and mixed by Rob Kinelski, both of whom also served as studio personnel.[1][5] In August 2019, the single was made available for pre-order on cassette, scheduled to ship in October; selected cassettes were signed by Eilish. Additionally, a flexi disc was similarly released for pre-order to ship in the following 4-6 weeks. Each of the two releases came with a digital single delivered via email for US customers.[6][7]
Composition and lyrical interpretation
"Bad Guy" is divided into halves; the first half is moderately fast at 132-138 beats per minute (BPM) and the second half is slow at 60 BPM. The song is played in the key of G minor, while Eilish's vocals span a range of F3 to C6.[8] The track was called "pop-trap" and "nu-goth pop" in press reviews; it features a minimalist production consisting of synth bass, a kick drum, amplified finger snaps and 808 bass.[9][10][11] "Bad Guy" further uses a "goofy carnival" and "cartoony" synthesizer riff.[10][12] Vanity Fair's Louie XIV labeled it "dance music through a fun house mirror".[10] Alongside "witty" cadences, Eilish uses several tongue-in-cheek lyrics.[13][14]
In the lyrics, Eilish taunts a lover for being a bad guy; as the song progresses she suggests she is tougher than him, singing in a "nonchalant, self-effacing murmur".[10][13][15] According to reviewers, the song also discusses themes such as misandry, gloating, sarcasm and naughtiness.[4][11][12] During the track's half-spoken chorus, the singer elaborates on her relationship with fellow men and women, rejecting their expectations of her; "I'm that bad type / Make your mama sad type / Make your girlfriend mad tight / Might seduce your dad type / I’m the bad guy, duh".[4] Other lyrics include: "My mommy likes to sing along with me / But she won't sing this song / If she reads all the lyrics / She'll pity the men I know".[14] Analyzing the lyrics of "Bad Guy", Caitlin White of Uproxx wrote that it sees "a woman's teenage voice boast of its power, assert her sexual dominance, and use men as playthings instead of sing about being used as one by them". She continued; "'Bad Guy' positions a young female pop star in a role that’s usually reserved for men working in rock or hip hop".[4] AJ Longabaugh of V likened the lyrics to the later work of Amy Winehouse.[14]
Critical reception and accolades
Upon its release, "Bad Guy" was praised by music critics, several of whom commended its lyrical content.[10][13][14] White of Uproxx likened the song to material released by the White Stripes, writing, "It’s the kind of song that builds power as it unfolds, an anthem imbued with casual fearlessness".[4] Labeling it as a "low-key banger", Stereogum's Chris DeVille drew comparisons with the work of Lorde and Fiona Apple.[16] Writing for PopBuzz, Sam Prance said "Bad Guy" is "iconic" and dubbed the "duh" lyric as "already one of the standout musical moments of 2019". He continued; "It's the perfect anthem for anyone who likes to get in touch with their dark side".[13] Vanity Fair's Louie XIV included the track in the magazine's list of "9 Songs From 2019 That Might Predict the Future of Pop", writing; "Billie has remade the look of pop success: ironic, self-aware, intimate, DIY, and paying little mind to dated standards for teen-pop idol-dom".[10] Suzy Exposito of Rolling Stone said Eilish recalled DC Comics' character Harley Quinn during the song, "playing a comic book villain in a voice that suggests Lorde’s rascal kid sister".[17] One negative review came from Pitchfork's Stacey Anderson, who criticized Eilish for "bragging about statutory rape" and said she found the song "stale".[18] "Bad Guy" was nominated for Choice Song: Female Artist at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards,[19] as well as for Song of Summer at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.[20]

A music video for "Bad Guy" was directed by Dave Meyers and was uploaded to Eilish's official YouTube channel on March 29, 2019.[22][21] Additionally, Eilish released a vertical video on August 15, 2019.[23] The video begins with a yellow backdrop while the opening track "!!!!!!!" from When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? is played. Eilish discusses taking out her dental brace before laughing.[4][22] She eventually kicks her way through a wall while wearing a yellow sweatshirt and sweatpants, and hands her dental brace to a man, Eric Lutz,[24] on her right. Scenes showing Eilish dancing wildly are interspersed with her "boredly" feeding pigeons, getting a nosebleed while wearing a white outfit in a blue room with a clock, pouring milk and cereal into a suited man's mouth against the backdrop of a red desert, riding on a miniature car with a gang of men on tricycles, wearing snorkel gear while mens' heads float in plastic bags above her, and sitting on a wall in front of a group of overweight men who flex their bellies to the beat. The video ends in a "sinister" way as Eilish sits on the back of a man who does push-ups in a dark, red room.[9][25][26][27]
The video was positively received by music critics. Uproxx's White called the use of "!!!!!!!" at its beginning "effective".[4] James Rettig of Stereogum noticed elements of camp although acknowledging the video was "still being emotionally sincere and vulnerable. This one features a lot of weirdo imagery ... in a way that’s both goofy and genuinely unsettling".[28] Chloe Gilke, writing for Uproxx, said the video takes several of the song's lyrics literally and that it is "awash in primary colors and black and white, Eilish’s bold aesthetic".[9] Rolling Stone's Jon Blistein noticed "a series of strange, grotesque and weirdly hilarious sequences",[26] while Laura Dzubay of The Michigan Daily pointed out "strange dances, from a backward Exorcist-style crawl to a squatting sidestep to an energetic roll".[27] Upon its release, the video was accused of "blatantly" plagiarizing photographs by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari of Toiletpaper magazine.[27] The video received significant attention online and was the subject of several memes.[29][30] Melissa McCarthy parodied it on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2019.[31] "Bad Guy" was nominated for Video of the Year, Best Pop Video and Best Direction, and won Best Editing at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.[20][32]
Live performances and other usage

To promote the song, Eilish delivered several live performances of "Bad Guy". On May 7, 2019, she sang it on Jimmy Kimmel Live!,[33] and BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend on May 26.[34] Eilish also performed the track at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 20,[35] and at Glastonbury Festival on June 30.[36] "Bad Guy" was included on the setlist of Eilish's When We All Fall Asleep Tour (2019),[37] and further performed at Pukkelpop in August.[38]
In June 2019, Bastille covered "Bad Guy" at BBC's Maida Vale Studios as part of a medley that also included Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" (2009), Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" (2015), Dick Dale's "Misirlou" (1962) and their own "Bad Decisions" (2019). For their reinterpretation, Bastille added "surfy" guitars and "soulful" backup singers, and changed the song's lyrical plot by modifying the original line "I'm the bad guy" to "You're the bad guy".[39] Two Door Cinema Club also covered the track on Radio 1's Live Lounge the same month,[40] as well as Alexandra Stan on Virgin Radio Romania in July.[41] "Bad Guy" was used for an advertisement for clothing manufacturer Calvin Klein's "My Truth" campaign.[42] It was included on the chart compilation album Now That's What I Call Music 103,[43] and was used during the end credits of the 2019 superhero horror film Brightburn.[44] The song will be featured on the upcoming dance rhythm game, Just Dance 2020.[45] Among other parodies, one titled "Dad Guy" released by FunkTurkey on YouTube in August 2019, went viral. It replaces the original lyrics with jokes about fatherhood.[46]

Background and composition
On July 9, 2019, Eilish used her Instagram to dismiss rumours about a second studio album, hinting at the upcoming release of a secret project. Her brother Finneas O'Connell retweeted a tweet Justin Bieber had written the day before saying "Remix", leading to speculation.[117] The remix version of "Bad Guy" was released on July 11, 2019, via Darkroom and Interscope Records.[118] Prior to its premiere, the lyrics of the song were posted on Genius alongside its expected release date, labels and writers.[119] Accompanying the release of the remix is cover artwork showing a photograph of a young Eilish—a fan of Bieber's—surrounded by his posters.[120][121] Halle Kiefer of Vulture compared Eilish's look to that of JoJo Siwa.[121]
The remix has identical credits to the original "Bad Guy" with the addition of Bieber and Jason Boyd as songwriters and composers.[122] On the song, Bieber performs autotuned and rap-inspired vocals.[123][124] His runs are added to the intro, following which he joins on the second verse, flaunting his "icy" wealth. He sings lyrics including: "I got more ice than, than the snow", "Cause I don't sleep, please don't wake me" and "It ain't political", adding the ad libitum "skrrt!".[123][125] Bieber continues; "Yeah, I’m a bad guy/Ain’t no holdin’ back guy/Come off like a mad guy/Always got your back guy/Yeah I’m the real type/Keep you full of thrills type/Show you what it feels like/Got an open invite",[125] before chanting "I'm the bad guy".[126] He growls into the second half of the song.[126]
Critical reception
Music critics gave mixed reviews of the remix upon its release. Lake Schatz of Consequence of Sound wrote that Bieber's contribution failed to make a "huge" impact.[120] Billboard's Matthew Unterberger wrote; "Bieber's clearly having fun with his guest verse and ad-libs – the remix's high point might come with his mid-verse "skrrt!" exclamation – but he never seems to totally find his way into the song's manic-spooky energy".[123] An editor of BreatheHeavy said the remix is "something no one asked for, but it’ll certainly breathe new life into it".[126] Callie Ahlgrim of Insider wrote; "Bieber takes some of the edge off of Eilish's brooding 'Bad Guy,' but not in a bad way. His sickly sweet voice glides over the thumping beat, creating an interesting and irresistible contrast".[127] Jem Aswad of Variety likened the singer's vocal delivery to that of Justin Timberlake.[124]
