Lizzo Drops “Still Bad” A Funk-Infused Statement of Self-Love
Lizzo is back, and she’s got something to say. The four-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist has just dropped “Still Bad”, a confident and infectious new single that reminds listeners exactly why she remains one of the most compelling voices in pop. The track arrives as the latest preview of her highly anticipated album, Love In Real Life, and serves up a bold statement of independence, resilience, and, of course, Lizzo’s signature self-assurance.
From the very first note, “Still Bad” makes its presence known. The track leans into a pulsating bassline, 80s-inspired synths, and a funk-infused groove that perfectly complements Lizzo’s charismatic delivery. “I don’t need him, I need a drink,” she sings on the chorus, a sharp, tongue-in-cheek lyric that embodies the song’s carefree attitude. Layered with claps and fiery guitar licks, “Still Bad” is equal parts anthem and affirmation.
The accompanying music video translates that energy to the screen, bringing Lizzo’s confidence to life through vibrant visuals and empowering imagery. If Love In Real Life is an exploration of love in all its forms, “Still Bad” is a reminder that self-love is just as important.
A Natural Evolution from Love In Real Life
“Still Bad” follows the release of “Love In Real Life”, Lizzo’s first solo track in three years. That song, a bold fusion of pop and rock, marked the start of a new chapter in her career—one that continues with “Still Bad”’s unshakable confidence. Fans who have followed Lizzo’s journey from Truth Hurts to About Damn Time will recognize the evolution in both her sound and message: this is an artist who has grown, but who still knows exactly who she is.
What’s Next for Lizzo?
Beyond the single, anticipation is building for Lizzo’s fifth studio album, Love In Real Life. If the first two singles are any indication, the project will be a diverse sonic experience blending pop, funk, rock, and the kind of candid lyricism that has always defined Lizzo’s music.
She’s also taking her new music to the stage with a run of intimate fan shows, including stops at New York’s Irving Plaza (March 16) and Minneapolis’ First Avenue (March 18).
The Verdict? Lizzo is Still Bad—In the Best Way
With “Still Bad”, Lizzo isn’t just making music—she’s making a statement. It’s a song about confidence, survival, and owning your power, and it’s one that’s sure to resonate with fans. As Lizzo herself puts it, “After everything, I’m still surviving and I’m still bad, baby.” And with her upcoming album just around the corner, there’s plenty more to look forward to.
