“Bad Boy” opens with “Celebracion,” a vibrant anthem that sets the stage for the project with its celebratory energy and infectious melodies. “Bad Boy” the title track, follows with Drela delving into themes of regret and redemption, pouring out his heart over past mistakes.
The song is an honest exploration of love, loss, and the desire to make things right. He expresses the pain of being ignored, and feeling lost and broken since she left. Admitting he’s been rehabilitated and is no longer the person he used to be, he pleads for a chance to be taught how to love right.
The production is layered and dynamic, with each element carefully placed to build a sense of progression throughout the song. The rhythm is unmistakably AfroBeats, but it’s infused with a modern tune that elevates the track.
