This is the title track of Miss A's first single album, 'Bad But Good.'
It's Miss A's debut single, which became the talk of the town even
before its release because it was produced by Park Jin-young. It's a
medium tempo song with a combination of a rich European-style musical
melody and intense American-style hip-hop rhythm. The straight-forward
lyrics where the girls confidently express themselves are impressive.
