Still Bad Lyrics – Lizzo

Still Bad Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1:]
Lizzo is feeling frustrated and wants to disconnect from her phone, probably to avoid any more stress or drama. She doesn’t want her friends to know she’s struggling, but deep down, she’s upset. The guy she was with acts like he’s impossible to replace, but she knows that’s not true. Even though he might regret losing her, she’s confident that she’ll move on, and he’ll miss what he lost.

[Pre-Chorus:]
She went through a tough time because of this guy and felt completely knocked down. For a while, it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to get back up. But now, she’s ready to get back out there, let loose, and enjoy life again.

[Chorus:]
She doesn’t need her ex; she just needs a good time. Instead of sitting around feeling bad, she’s turning her pain into a celebration. Life has been rough lately, but she’s choosing to have fun anyway. Whether it’s drinking champagne, partying with her friends, or even taking a spontaneous trip to Vegas, she’s focused on enjoying herself. After everything she’s been through, she’s still standing, still confident, and still thriving—so she’s not going to waste time complaining.

[Verse 2:]
She’s reminding herself (and everyone else) that she’s still got it. Despite everything she’s been through, she’s doing great. Even the hard times haven’t made her lose her shine. She doesn’t need her ex—she just wants to have fun, dance, and reconnect with her real friends, who bring her real love and happiness. She realizes she’s been missing out on these good moments, and now she’s ready to make up for lost time.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Again, she acknowledges that this guy hurt her and made her feel like she couldn’t get back up. But now, she’s over it. She’s done feeling down and is ready to go out, have fun, and enjoy her life again.

[Chorus:]
She repeats the idea that she doesn’t need her ex; she just needs a good time. Life has been difficult, but instead of letting it break her, she’s choosing to celebrate and keep moving forward. She’s still strong, still confident, and still thriving—so there’s nothing to complain about.

[Post-Chorus:]
She proudly declares that she’s still got it. She’s still confident, still beautiful, and still doing great, no matter what she’s been through.

[Bridge:]
She hypes herself up, making it clear that she’s back and better than ever. No matter what happened in the past, she’s still standing strong and won’t let anyone forget it. She’s embracing her confidence and reminding herself (and everyone else) that she’s still that girl.

[Chorus:]
She closes out the song with the same message—she doesn’t need her ex, she just needs to have fun. Life has been throwing challenges at her, but she’s refusing to let them bring her down. Instead of complaining, she’s celebrating her strength, confidence, and ability to keep going no matter what.
