WHY YOU SO BAD?
Why You So Bad is the third English-language track from TWS, following Unplugged Boy on their debut mini and the awesome anime theme N.O.S.A from last year. As usual, this results in some lyrics I find unintentionally funny. Hearing Shinyu proclaim “we got cuffed!” was not on my 2026 bingo card and it makes me chuckle every time I hear it.
Funny slang aside, this track seems to best crystallize the album’s star-crossed lovers theme. It’s a sweet, very poppy mid-tempo with some of the catchiest melodies throughout the entire project. It’s also the longest song on No Tragedy by quite some margin. Why can’t Pledis give this length to the group’s title tracks?
Placed alongside other tracks on the album, Why You So Bad feels a bit throwaway. That isn’t automatically a bad thing, especially since these kind of tracks tend to sneak up on me over time. As usual, the members’ natural character transforms what could be quite generic into a quirky little earworm. The production is mostly nondescript, though the warm synths and percolating groove add to the song’s amiable nature. This will never be my favorite TWS track, but it’s still very fun.
