Bad Woman (song)

"Bad Woman" is a song by British singer-songwriter Paloma Faith. It was released on 24 November 2023 by Sony Music and RCA Records as the second single from her sixth studio album The Glorification of Sadness. It was written by Faith, Fred Cox, and Låpsley, and produced by Cox, Martin Wave, and vocal producer Jamie McEvoy. The song delivers a bold and unapologetic message, reinforcing themes of strength and defiance that run throughout the album.

The song marks Faith's first new music since Infinite Things (2020) and is featured on her sixth studio album The Glorification of Sadness, for which she served as the executive producer for the first time in her career. Musically, "Bad Woman" blends pop, gospel, and soul elements, opening with a vocal ensemble chanting, "I'm a bad woman." The production builds throughout the song, culminating in a gospel-inspired final chorus. In the bridge, Faith’s voice softens as she sings, "So easy to blame me / But no one’s flawless," reinforcing the song’s theme of self-acceptance.
