"B.A.D." is a song recorded by South Korean duo Super Junior-D&E for their fourth Korean EP, Bad Blood. It was released as the lead single of the EP on September 3, 2020, by SM Entertainment and Label SJ, with Dreamus handling the distribution.
On August 24, 2020, Label SJ announced that the duo will have a comeback through the release of Bad Blood, after a year and five months since Danger. The EP plans to showcase deadly music and visuals never seen before.[1] Four days later, the track list of the EP was revealed with "B.A.D." serving as the lead single, co-written by member Donghae and J-DUB.[2] On the 31st, the duo uploaded a teaser for the song's music video.[3] The song was released alongside the music video and the parent EP on September 3.[4]
Composition
"B.A.D." is an electronic hip-hop song co-written by Donghae and J-DUB, with the latter serving as co-composer and the arranger.[5] The second half of the song features a Motown Funk-style ryhthm change.[4] The song was composed in the key of G Minor with the tempo of 113 BPM.[6]
The lyrics express the appearance of a beautiful opposite through the irony of the word "bad", according to Donghae.[7] Eunhyuk added that the song was designed to be "addictive" and keep the listeners humming it even if they just listen to it once.[8]
Live performance
The duo debuted the song on Inkigayo on September 13.[9] The song was later featured in the setlist Super Junior's sixth world tour concert Super Show 9: Road.[10]
