Machine Gun Kelly x Camila Cabello - Bad Things

This is such an easy target for mockery. For starters, it has the mediocre white rapper box ticked and the hip-hop song with female pop singer in the chorus box ticked. It doesn't help that Camila is generally considered the worst singer in Fifth Harmony. It's titled "Bad Things" to add to that growing list. I suppose you could say that I'm out of my head and out of my mind when I say that I enjoy this.

I do find the concept of 'bad things' in this song is a bit cringeworthy. While Camila's voice does have that young and innocent feel to it which almost justifies the lyrical content, I can't look past the fact that the stuff described in this song is pretty tame. If what's described in this song is considered bad things then wow. It might get them really excited sexually but it's hardly naughty enough that it deserves mentioning. I'd really like for it to go into some really interesting detail, but then I guess it wouldn't be so radio friendly. Speaking of which, I did get amusement that my mum got so sick of this song being played on radio that she'd race to turn the volume down whenever it come on :')

I suppose it is catchy enough though, and I do get enough amusement from the above that I don't feel too embarrassed to proclaim that it's one of the biggest guilty pleasures for me in the last six months. I guess this is the kinda bad thing I like? :P Must admit I'm very surprised it didn't end up becoming a top 10 hit in Australia.
