Bad reputation

Female-fronted punk rock anthem with attitude, confidence and raw energy. Fast tempo (170-190 BPM), driving drums, distorted power guitars, punchy bass and catchy gang vocals in the chorus.

Theme: refusing to care about a bad reputation, ignoring gossip and judgment, turning criticism into strength and motivation. Empowering, fearless and unapologetic. Lyrics about knowing your own worth, rising above negativity, and exposing the hypocrisy of people who judge others instead of looking at themselves.

Verse 1

You point your fingers, talk so loud

Act like you know me from the crowd

Behind my back, behind a screen

Making up stories you’ve never seen

You say my name with poison lips

Taking your shots, taking your hits

But every word you throw my way

Just fuels the fire that lights my day

Pre-Chorus

So keep it coming, give me more

I’ve heard it all before

Chorus

I don’t care about my bad reputation

It’s giving me fuel, it’s my motivation

You can talk, you can judge, say whatever you please

But I know who I am, and that’s enough for me

I don’t care what you think of my name

I won’t bend, I won’t change

I’m good enough, even better than before

And your hate just makes me stronger than ever more

Verse 2

Funny how people find the time

To tear down someone else’s life

While the mirror waits at home

Showing truths they’ve never known

You judge others to feel tall

But your own shadows say it all

I don’t need your validation

I’ve built my own foundation

Pre-Chorus

So keep it coming, give me more

I’ve heard it all before

Chorus

I don’t care about my bad reputation

It’s giving me fuel, it’s my motivation

You can talk, you can judge, say whatever you please

But I know who I am, and that’s enough for me

I don’t care what you think of my name

I won’t bend, I won’t change

I’m good enough, even better than before

And your hate just makes me stronger than ever more

Bridge

Take a look in the mirror before you judge me

Everybody’s fighting battles nobody can see

It’s easy throwing stones from the dark outside

When you’re too afraid to face what’s hiding inside

Breakdown

Bad reputation? Turn it up!

Bad reputation? Fill my cup!

Every rumor, every lie

Only helps me reach the sky!

Final Chorus

I don’t care about my bad reputation

It’s giving me fuel, it’s my motivation

You can talk, you can judge, say whatever you please

But I know who I am, and that’s enough for me

I’m good enough, even better than before

Standing stronger than I’ve ever stood before

You can say what you want, you can try to define me

But you’ll never decide who I’m meant to be

Outro

Keep talking…

I’m still rising.

Keep judging…

I’m still shining.

And that’s what really bothers you
