This song was performed by Zach Sorgen on the TV show “Songland” during Season 1 Episode 9. The star artist of that episode was Charlie Puth. Zach Sorgen was up against Sam DeRosa, Joel Adams, and Paris Williams, and eventually won the contest.

Though Charlie was expected to sing and release the song, he expressed “why he chose to let Zach release it in is own version. Revealing that as a singer-songwriter himself, it is important that he recognizes a song that has been sung by the original writer. And ‘Bad Habit’ is one such song that should be released and put out in the world by Zach himself.”

Later, Zach revealed that while the version of the song he and Ryan Tedder worked on during the show was fun, he decided to release his original version because it was closest to his personal experience.
