Critical reception
Brennan Carley of Spin magazine wrote that "Bad Habits" has got "a loud, insistent, urgent sound to it, with a prominent string section underscoring the chaos with a sense of unease."[6] Stereogum's Peter Helman noted that the song is "a brash, slitheringly groovy thing with an insistent bassline and some string section flourishes courtesy of maestro Owen Pallett."[7]
Music video
