M.I.A. - Bad Girls (Audio)

this song is the vibe arab, african and desi girls give off

the “suki suki” part is actually supposed to mean “drive drive” in arabic! the whole music video and instrumental of this song is inspired by arab culture too. so much culture appreciation and i’m so here for it!

the song has a middle eastern bcs it’s supposed to be empowering to women who couldn’t drive legally in Saudi Arabia, the fact that it was made legal in 2018 while MIA was already bringing awareness to that scene in 2012 is literally so cool

Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well My chain hits my chest When I'm banging on the dashboard My chain hits my chest When I'm banging on the radio Get back, get down Pull me closer if you think you can hang Hands up, hands tied Don't go screamin' if I blow you with a bang Suki suki I'm comin' in the Cherokee Gasoline There's steam on the window screen Take it, take it World's bouncin' like a trampoline When I get to where I'm goin', gonna have you tremblin' Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well My chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' on the dashboard My chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' on the radio Yeah, back it, back it Yeah, pull up to the bumper game Read the signal Cover me, 'cause I'm changin' lanes Had a handle on it My life, I broke it When I get to where I'm goin', gonna have you sayin' it Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well My chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' on the dashboard My chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' on the radio chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' on the dashboard My chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' Get back, get down Pull me closer if you think you can hang Hands up, hands tied Don't go screamin' if I blow you with a bang Goin' nought to bitch, I'll see four million Accelerating fast I can do this in a second Lookin' in the rearview, swaggin' goin' swell Leavin' boys behind 'cause it's legal just to kill Shift gear, automatic, damned if I do Who's gonna stop me when I'm comin' through? What we got left is just me and you But if I go to bed, baby, can I take you? Get back, get down Pull me closer if you think you can hang Hands up, hands tied Don't go screamin' if I blow you with a bang Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well Chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' on the dashboard My chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' on the radio Chain hits my chest When I'm bangin' on the dashboard My chain hits my chest When I'm bangin'

MIA is so fucking underrated. What a masterpiece of a song. Even the instrumental is flawless.

this song makes me feel like a bad girl but im just a nerdy guy

Bro this song is dope! it's so underrated and it needs more attention! I'm genuinely surprised it isn't played more often. it's such a good song and it gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. MIA deserves more credit. They are so underrated.

I found this song on GTA five like eight years ago I heard about this song and I love it to this day

Goddamnit, the Arabic influenced background music is so badass.

“Your listening to non stop pop fm”

the absolute respect i have for this particular song and the artist who made it..

10 years and it’s still a masterpiece

0:35 is where the fun starts when she says “gasoline” is so pleasing

putting extra sugar in my coffee Live fast, Die young, Bad girls do it well.

MIA is not fully appreciated, but it's a pity.a legendary song, it plays in my head every day now.😳😳😳💜

9 years later, still a vibe.

7 years since this came out and to this day any time i do something even remotely dangerous my brain goes “live fast die young bad girls do it well”

3:25 I get goosebumps every time it transitions to the instrumental only, this is one of the best instrumentals I've heard in years omg

Who’s here in 2024?

As a stay at home wife and mother, this song really resonates.
