“Bad” by XXXTentacion

“Bad” is the title of a 2018 posthumous single by the late American singer and rapper XXXTentacion. “Bad” is for lack of a better phrase a love song. In the track, X tells his shawty how much he wants her love. He tells her that he’s heard of how “bad” she is. Her badness is obviously one of the biggest reasons why X wants her love.

It’s noteworthy that in the colloquial world, the word “bad” means differently. In the English dictionary, it can be defined as anything that isn’t good. However, in the informal setting, the word can be used to refer to a trendy and very hot woman. A woman who is bad is so attractive and to a certain degree promiscuous. The word is used in a good way to describe such a woman. In other words, it’s a compliment.
