In the U.S., "Bad Girlfriend" was the most added song an rock radio and grew quickly in plays and downloads, therefore making a debut on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. It debuted at #89 on the Canadian Hot 100, and quickly arose to peak at #42. It is currently their most successful single in the U.S, with "So Happy", the single before it, being their previous most successful, making Scars & Souvenirs their most successful album as well. The song is Theory's second big breakthrough from this album, carrying the band to the top of the Mainstream Rock Charts within 14 weeks. It is also the band's second song to reach the top 20 of the Modern Rock Chart, so far peaking at #13. The song has a very upbeat sound. It is about Tyler Connolly's wife, who makes Yyler very jealous because she is attractive and always has other guys hitting on her, as the band stated in an interview with Fuse.

The music video was released in early August. It includes Theory performing on a stage at a club, where a lot of young women ride on strip poles.
