According to a Pitchfork article, Rina wrote the heart-tugging highlight “Bad Friend” after checking Facebook for the first time in a while and seeing that a formerly close friend had a new baby. The track details a trip they took to Tokyo in 2012, when they got drunk and danced naked to Carly Rae J...
[Verse 1]
We ran through the bright Tokyo lights, nothing to lose
Summer of 2012, burnt in my mind
Hot, crazy, and drunk, five in a room
Singing our hearts out to Carly, sweat in our eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Throwing drinks at each other
Making fun of our lovers
Getting kicked out on the street, oh
We were best friends forever, but the truth is
[Chorus]
I'm so good at crashing in
Making sparks and shit, but then
I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
So don't ask me where I've been
Been avoiding everything
'Cause I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
I'm a bad friend, yeah
[Verse 2]
Guess we fell out, what was that all about?
Maybe I overreacted, well, maybe you shouldn't have...
God, it's insane how things can change like that
Don't even know where you are
What you do and who you do it with
[Pre-Chorus]
Throwing drinks at each other
Making fun of our lovers
Getting kicked out on the street, oh
We were best friends forever, but the truth is
[Chorus]
I'm so good at crashing in
Making sparks and shit, but then
I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
So don't ask me where I've been
Been avoiding everything
'Cause I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad
[Bridge]
Put your hands up if you're not good at this stuff
Put your hands up if you're not good at this stuff
(Oh, I'm a bad friend, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Put your hands up if you're not good at this stuff
(Should we put the bridges back together?)
Maybe I'm a bad friend
[Chorus]
I'm so good at crashing in
Making sparks and shit, but then
I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
So don't ask me where I've been
Been avoiding everything (Everything)
'Cause I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad
I'm so good at crashing in
Making sparks and shit, but then
I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
So don't ask me where I've been
Been avoiding everything
'Cause I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend

My favourite song on the album. This was inspired by someone I used to be best friends with, and how falling out with them in my early twenties made me point the mirror at myself and look my own insecurities that make me sabotage friendships. We’ve all been bad friends sometimes, but why?

I think everyone’s been a bad friend at some point, and I wanted to write a very pure song about it. Before I went in to write that, I’d just seen an old friend. She’s had a baby. I’d seen that on Facebook, and I hadn’t been there for it at all, so I was like, “What!” We fell out, basically. In the...
