"Bad Girl" is a song by American singer and songwriter Madonna, recorded for her fifth studio album, Erotica (1992).
The song was released as the third single from the album on February 2, 1993 by Maverick Records.
Madonna has performed the song live only once, during an appearance on Saturday Night Live in January 1993.
Rolling Stone magazine called the song a "riveting" ballad which describes "the mind of a girl who'd rather mess herself up than end a relationship she's too neurotic to handle, and the characters remain faceless.
Entertainment Weekly reviewed it as a "lonely-at-the-top, lovesick-victim song."
