VITA channels the frustration felt by several conformists in her new song “BADBADBAD.” The pent-up emotions make way through VITA’s lyrics and her vocal delivery. The singer’s passionate mezzo-soprano range mirrors the instrumental that takes admiration from pop, hard rock, and electro.
She explains,
“BADBADBAD is about taking your power back. It’s about being at the point where you’re tired of pleasing people, of conforming to societal standards, of being controlled by relationships, of being the person everyone expects you to be. When you’re done being defined by others’ expectations and want to stand up and say “FUCK YOU” to anything or anyone that tries to confine you into something more digestible for themselves. This song is that for me. It’s the first step into living authentically for myself. The big divide between who I was and who I am becoming.”
VITA lays her feelings out on the table in the first few verses. She’s changing the narrative and making this person accountable for their actions.
“I got a lot to say/You got a lot of explaining/Shit you know I don’t play,” she declares. “I put my foot on the gas/Bitch imma regulate.”
As the song continues, she communicates that the negative responses are no longer a concern. VITA is putting herself first. If anyone has an issue with her new approach toward mentally draining situations, she’s hanging it up.
“If they wanna run they mouth /Go for miles I’ll wear you out,” she says.
Towards the end, the Australian native vividly expresses how she’d handle human leeches. Simply put, their reactions are a reflection of themselves and have nothing with her or what she’s expressed.
