"Bad Time" is a song recorded by American singer Sabrina Carpenter from her third studio album Singular: Act I (2018). It serves as the sixth track of the album and was released by Hollywood Records as the second promotional single on November 1, 2018. The track was written by Carpenter, Julia Karlsson and its producer, Oscar Görres. The song is about someone who is calling for a "good time", but the invitation is denied.

Background and recording

"Bad Time" was written and recorded in November 2017 at Wolf Cousins Studios in a day and a half, by the time Carpenter was in Stockholm, Sweden.[1][2][3] It was written by Sabrina Carpenter, Julia Karlsson and Oscar Görres, the last being the song's producer and vocal producer.[1] Carpenter, Karlsson and Görres served the background vocals and Görres programmed the song and played keyboards, bass, guitars, drums and percussion.[1] The song was mixed by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia and John Hanes served as a mix assistant.[1] The song was mastered at Sterling Sound in New York City by Chris Gehringer.[1]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

Musically, "Bad Time" is a three minutes and five seconds up-tempo synth-driven song with electropop influences.[4][5] Lyrically, the song talks about someone who's calling for a "good time", but the invitation is denied because, previously, that person has already messed with Carpenter's mind.[5]

Critical reception

The Line of Best Fit called the song "an undeniable highlight [and] also perhaps the best example of the lyricism and pop sensibility Carpenter brings to [Singular: Act I] as a whole, creating image-heavy scenarios that are then exploded into a chorus with sticky hooks and a massive pay-off."[6] Mike Neid for Idolator described the song as "funny".[4]
