Lizzo Releases New Song “Still Bad”
American singer-songwriter Lizzo released a new song “Still Bad” on March 13, 2025.
The song is the second single off of her upcoming fifth studio album “Love In Real Life”, following the album title track released last month.
The track was accompanied by the Colin Tilley-directed music video as with the previous video.
It was written by Blake Slatkin, Cheche Alara, Eric Frederic, Melissa 'Lizzo' Jefferson, and Sam Harris. Produced by Ricky Reed, Blake Slatkin, and Lizzo.
Lizzo told Apple Music about the song, “Recording ‘Still Bad’ was interesting because it started off as a country song and it was like, ‘I don’t need him, I need a drink. You know what I mean? I think this song is so interesting because like it was just, the sentiment was more important than the sound. The lyrics had to come from that, ‘I lost my dog, I need some whiskey,’ kind of like deep sadness or country kind of rhetoric.”- The new album is her first body of work in three years since the 2022 album “Special”. Still, no official release date for the album has been revealed.
It is the first release after two lawsuits in 2023 from multiple former employees accusing her of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment while on tour.
Lizzo said of the album in the interview with Apple Music, “I feel like I’ve also changed [in the past two years], and I’ve also promised to change. I’ve always promised my fans, I’ve always promised the world, I always promised myself that I would change because I owe it to myself. I am the best version of Melissa 'Lizzo' Jefferson right now. Not because of anything external or superficial, but because of the work that I’ve done on myself as a human being and the life that I’ve lived. I’m really proud of this version of myself. I cannot wait to just show her to the world and for people to get to know me for real this time.” - source : Apple Music
