Bad Girl (Madonna song)
"Bad Girl" is a song by American singer and songwriter Madonna, recorded for her fifth studio album, ''Erotica'' (1992). The song was written by Madonna, Shep Pettibone and Anthony Shimkin, and produced by Madonna and Pettibone. The song was released as the third single from the album on February 22, 1993 by Maverick Records. Lyrically, the song describes a woman that is unhappy with her life because she believes she is behaving badly, due to the sadness that has overwhelmed her since the end of a romantic relationship.
"Bad Girl" received positive reviews from music critics, who described it as riveting and tragic, while also applauding the sophistication and overall message of the song. The song was a modest success on the charts, reaching number 36 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number ten on the UK Singles Chart, falling off the chart shortly after. The music video to accompany the single was directed by David Fincher, who had previously collaborated on Madonna's "Express Yourself", "Oh Father" and "Vogue" videos. The clip features Madonna playing a high-powered Manhattan executive who has many one-night stands with a variety of men - ultimately being murdered by one of these men at the end of the video. The video features the American actor Christopher Walken, who plays "a guardian angel " to Madonna's character.
Madonna has performed the song live only once, during an appearance on ''Saturday Night Live'' in January 1993. At the end of the performance, she referenced Sinéad O'Connor's actions of ripping a photograph of Pope John Paul II and yelling "Fight the real enemy" during O'Connor's ''Saturday Night Live'' performance in October 1992. The photograph Madonna ripped was of Joey Buttafuoco.
==Background==
In late 1991, Madonna started meeting with Shep Pettibone in his apartment studio to begin working on her forthcoming album ''Erotica''. "Bad Girl," along with the songs "Erotica," "Deeper and Deeper," "Rain," and "Thief of Hearts" made up the first batch of songs that they worked on together - Madonna writing the lyrics to the songs as Pettibone worked on the music.〔 The mindset of the sessions was one of "low-tech standards." For example, the vocals to "Bad Girl" were recorded using an older style SM57 microphone because Pettibone felt that "sometimes, older is better."〔 According to Pettibone, the writing of "Bad Girl" (along with the album track "In This Life") was evidence that the ''Erotica'' album was taking a more melancholy turn, instead of just being "up-and-happy music." Pettibone went on to say that at that point Madonna's stories were getting a lot more "serious and intense" and she was definitely driving the creative direction of the songs into "deeply personal territory."〔 Bad Girl was released as the third single off of ''Erotica'' in February 1993.
