About this song
Bad Boy is the lead single from Red Velvet's second album repackage, The Perfect Red Velvet. The track represents the group's "velvet" side, both in sound and lyrics, and is paired with a signature dark red and black-and-white aesthetic. It is described as one of the most iconic K-pop songs of the 3rd generation.
What it's about
The lyrics express the attraction and uneasy feelings between a bad boy and a chic girl who is playing hard to get. Sound effects of high heels, cheering men and a police siren chasing the bad boy add to the fun of the chorus.
