Bad Influence Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I had time to think about it
It’s too much bullshit that surround it
I don’t want it at all
But, hey, I wanna have a good time (Good time, good time, good, good, good)
And I had time to think about it (Woo, woo)
But life would be so much better without it
I don’t want it at all (Woo, woo)
But, hey, I wanna have a good time (Good time, good time, good, good, good)
[Pre-Chorus]
Let’s go out, let’s go out, let’s go ’round
What ya doin’ now?
Let’s go out, let’s go out
Bust the scene, flip the vibe
Chase the fade, chase the fade
And be the section everybody talkin’ bout, talkin’ bout
Only fun shit is allowed
[Chorus]
Bad influence, you had to do it
An ordinary time ain’t enough for you
Bad influence, you had to do it
You wanna have a good, good night
Bad influence, you had to do it
It’s four in the morning, what the fuck we doin’?
Bad influence, you had to do it
You turn and say “a good, good time” (Okay, okay)
[Verse 2: Wonwoo, Vernon, THE 8 & Vernon]
And I had time to think about it (Bad influence)
But life would be so much better without it
I don’t want it at all
But, hey, I wanna have a good time (Good time, good time, good, good, good time)
(Good time, good time) Sometimes you wanna luck up (Good time, good time)
(Good time, good time) You get frustrated, call me stuck up
(Good time, good time) But once you bring the plug up
(Good time, good time) Makes me wanna get fucked up
[Pre-Chorus]
Let’s go out, let’s go out, let’s go ’round
What ya doin’ now?
Let’s go out, let’s go out
Bust the scene, flip the vibe
Chase the fade, chase the fade
And be the section everybody talkin’ bout, talkin’ bout
Only fun shit is allowed
[Chorus]
Bad influence, you had to do it
An ordinary time ain’t enough for you
Bad influence, you had to do it
You wanna have a good, good night
Bad influence, you had to do it
It’s four in the morning, what the fuck we doin’?
Bad influence, you had to do it
You turn and say “a good, good time”
[Verse 3]
And I had time to think about it (Bad influence)
It’s too much bullshit that surround it
I don’t want it at all (Woo, woo)
But, hey, I wanna have a good time (Good time, good time, good, good, good)
And I had time to think about it (Bad influence)
But life would be so much better without it (Better without it)
I don’t want it at all (Woo, woo)
But hey, I wanna have a good time (Good time, good time, good, good, good time)
Bad Influence Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
The opening verse establishes the push and pull between frustration and the desire for escape. SEVENTEEN reflects on the negativity that surrounds them, admitting that life would be better without it, yet choosing not to dwell on the toxicity. Instead, they turn toward having a good time, repeating the mantra to underscore their commitment to enjoyment over stress. The contrast between rejection of the negative and pursuit of joy captures the song’s emotional duality.
[Pre-Chorus]
This section shifts to an invitation, urging others to step out, change the energy, and join in a shared, carefree experience. “Bust the scene” and “flip the vibe” signal a desire to rewrite the night on their own terms. SEVENTEEN positions themselves at the center of attention—not just because of their influence, but because they actively create the moments that everyone talks about. Fun is not accidental; it’s intentional and exclusive.
[Chorus]
The chorus names the song’s title directly, framing “Bad Influence” as a repeated label tied to their actions. SEVENTEEN confronts the judgment they receive for living impulsively, flipping it into a badge of honor. They question the standards of “ordinary time,” suggesting that their need for excitement goes beyond convention. The raw honesty in lines like “what the fuck we doin’?” reveals an unapologetic embrace of recklessness, backed by a deeper longing for real, unfiltered experience.
[Verse 2: Wonwoo, Vernon, THE 8 & Vernon]
In this expanded verse, Wonwoo, Vernon, and THE 8 echo the internal dialogue of the first verse while introducing emotional nuance. They touch on moments of feeling “stuck up” or misunderstood but acknowledge how quickly things can flip when fun or escapism becomes accessible. The mention of “bring the plug up” suggests temptation or indulgence, turning the pursuit of a good time into something intoxicating and potentially destructive—yet still desired.
[Pre-Chorus]
This repetition of the pre-chorus reinforces the structure of the song’s journey: tension leads to escape, and that escape becomes the defining narrative. SEVENTEEN encourages a continuation of the same pattern—going out, shaking off the negativity, and reclaiming the atmosphere. This loop mimics how one can fall into cycles of partying as both relief and identity.
[Chorus]
The chorus reappears to emphasize its central message: SEVENTEEN owns the label of “bad influence” because it symbolizes freedom. There’s a defiant tone here—they’re not asking for permission or validation. Instead, they’re carving out space for joy on their terms, especially when conformity or restraint feels suffocating.
[Verse 3]
This closing verse blends the earlier motifs—frustration, clarity, and indulgence—into a final self-aware reflection. While the group reiterates that life might be simpler without distractions, they still gravitate toward high-energy, emotionally charged experiences. The call for a “good, good time” remains persistent, suggesting that their pursuit of pleasure is both a coping mechanism and a conscious rebellion against monotony or expectation.
