[Verse 1]
I wish I could delete these feelings
I wish I didn't need to see ya
I never should have let you hit it
But like the cigarettes, I just can't quit it
Do you know why you're so withholding?
'Cause suddenly I'm so controlling
I know we're just two narcissists
Circling each other
Why do I even bother? Fuck
[Chorus]
I'm the worst version of myself right now
Baby, all you do is bring me down, down, down
I don't feel beautiful anymore, more, more
Falling for you's such a chore
I'm the worst version of myself right now
Baby, all you do is bring me down, down, down
I don't feel beautiful anymore, more, more
Falling for you's such a chore
[Verse 2]
You can't deny wе're getting older
You'vе never had a girlfriend longer

You never learnt to be sincere
And all I do is feel my feelings
I write my silly little songs each evening
And I know we're just two narcissists
Circling each other
Why do I even bother? Fuck
[Chorus]
I'm the worst version of myself right now
Baby, all you do is bring me down, down, down
I don't feel beautiful anymore, more, more
Falling for you's such a chore
I'm the worst version of myself right now
Baby, all you do is bring me down, down, down
I don't feel beautiful anymore, more, more
Falling for you's such a chore
[Bridge]
I'm down bad, I'm down bad
I'm down bad, I'm down bad
I'm down bad, I'm down bad
I'm down bad, I'm down bad
I'm down bad, I'm down bad
I'm down bad, I'm down bad
I'm down bad, I'm down bad
I'm down bad, I'm down bad
I'm down
[Chorus]
I'm the worst version of myself right now
Baby, all you do is bring me down, down, down
I don't feel beautiful anymore, more, more
Falling for you's such a chore
Down Bad was written by TATYANA.
Down Bad was produced by TATYANA & Mikko Gordon.
It went through some wildly different versions production-wise and I nearly gave up on it! Every person I showed the initial demo to loved it, but it felt off to me for ages. In the end, it was this loop I made on the Machinedrum that ended up being the foundation of the song.
