Bad Boy is the lead single from Red Velvet’s 2nd album repackage, The Perfect Red Velvet. Both sonically and lyrically, the track represents the group’s “velvet” side. With its signature dark red and black-and-white aesthetic, “Bad Boy” remains one of the most iconic K-pop songs of the 3rd generation.

“Bad Boy” is a hip-hop-based R&B dance song with a groovy synth melody and addicting deep bass sounds. The lyrics of the song express the attraction and the uneasy feelings between a bad boy and a chic girl who is playing hard to get.

The sound effects of the girl’s high heels as she enters and the men cheering at her, along with the sounds of the police siren chasing the bad boy make the chorus even more fun to listen to.
