"Bad News" is a song by South Korean girl group Kiss of Life. The song was released on November 8, 2023, as the lead single from their second extended play Born to Be XX.
Background[edit]
On September 28, 2023, S2 Entertainment released a poster indicating that Kiss of Life would make their comeback in November.[1][2] On October 13, 2023, the group revealed in a teaser that they would make a comeback on November 8, 2023.[3][4] On October 30, the group released the sneak peek of the tracks revealing "Bad News" as the lead single.[5] On November 6, the group released a teaser for the music video.[6]
Composition[edit]
The song is a groovy mid-tempo that blends elements of pop, hip-hop, and rock, which makes it feel like a natural evolution of the burgeoning band's sound which features a guitar riff.[7][8][9]
Music video[edit]
The music video for "Bad News" finds the members facing off against those who have wronged them, from a rude man on the subway to a school bully.[10][11]
Critical reception[edit]
Writing for IZM, Lim Dong-yeop said that though the song is not gorgeous, and the sound is relaxed and not impressive, the melody is comfortable. "Unlike the title 'Bad news', it's 'good news', and there's nothing more in the music world."[12]
