Bad Girls

Bad Girls

Tennis

This was the first song from Ritual in Repeat to have a music video made and is considered by Alaina and Patrick to be “the most personal song on the album”. Although Alaina has admitted that the whole album feels closer to her than even their most autobiographical album (Cape Dory), this song stands out more intimately as a song she wrote about herself.

It’s the only song on the record where I wrote the lyrics first and wrote a melody to carry the lyrics. I never do that. Lyrics are always the very last thing. But it’s definitely about me realigning my beliefs about the world and maybe a little justification of that. Even bad girls can do good things.
