Dove Cameron, “Bad Idea” | Track Review 🎵

Actress/singer Dove Cameron goes against her better judgment, embracing rekindling a sus relationship on the relatable single, “Bad Idea.”

“Baby, we’re a bad idea / Fuck it, let’s do it again.” Hmm, typically, when an idea is bad, you should avoid it like a plague.  🎙 Dove Cameron does the exact opposite – embraces the badness of the idea on 🎵 “Bad Idea”.  While rekindling the relationship seems like a bad idea,  there’s nothing bad about this relatively brief single.

Honestly, Dove Cameron is relatable in “Bad Idea.” How many times have we embraced someone we shouldn’t, against our better judgment,  and for whatever reason, can’t quit them?  That’s the case in this playful gem where Dove ultimately says, “fuck it,” let’s play with fire.  The chorus, with its key f-bomb, is the crowning achievement.  That said, the verses – a mix of singing in an undertone, whispers, and some spoken word – are ear-catching as well.  Also, shout out to the production (🎛 Evan Blair). In the first verse, it’s Cameron’s lover who reaches out: “You’re having revelations / Wish you never let me go / And you say that you miss me…” In the second verse, she states, “Go ahead and tell me something / That you learned in therapy / And it’s almost convincing / But I’ve been known to go against my instincts.”

Final Thoughts 💭

All told, even considering the red flags, Dove Cameron ignores them on 🎵 “Bad Idea”.  It’s sort of like a vicious cycle, right?  Right. Well, what’s not vicious is this record, which is ultimately pretty sweet! Call “Bad Idea” what it is – a vibe with cool energy.
