Bad Idea Lyrics – SAY MY NAME | from “&Our Vibe”

SAY MY NAME’s third EP &Our Vibe crashes the party today—December 29 via iNKODE Entertainment—like a group chat blowing up at midnight, and “Bad Idea” is the track flipping judgments into your new favorite anthem, because who needs “right” when messy feels this free?

This lead single pulses with that fresh K-pop swagger: glitchy synths bumping against hip-hop edges, courtesy of composers JJean, J-Lin, B-Rock, and HEADLINE from CLEF CREW, all wrapped in SAY MY NAME’s harmonious hooks that switch from Korean verses to English choruses without missing a beat. It’s R&B-tinged pop with a rebellious streak—think rainy-day naps and unfiltered selfies clashing against the world’s boxes.

Thematically, it’s a love letter to ditching labels: “E 아니면 I 고민 없이 난” shrugs off binaries, while the “Bad Idea” chant owns the chaos of being undefinable. Written by a squad including Jeon Yul E, it’s got that raw edge of self-discovery, where overflowing vibes and fleeting smiles scream authenticity over perfection. Dropped with a vibrant MV last night, it’s already spiking Melon charts, fans stitching their “nonstop” moments on TikTok like it’s therapy in 3 minutes.

&Our Vibe clocks in at five tracks of unapologetic energy, building on their rapid-fire rise since October ’24 debut. It’s all about shared frequencies—hype, real, our— with cuts like the bubbly “Hype Vibes” and introspective “Real Talk” weaving global flavors from the group’s multicultural lineup. No massive collabs, just the octet leaning into live-band grooves and vocal layers that feel like a squad hype session. iNKODE (backed by JYJ’s Kim Jae-joong) kept the concept tight: reclaiming “vibe” as your own damn narrative, no apologies.

These eight trailblazers—Hitomi and Mei repping Japan, Kanny from Thailand, and Korean firecrackers Shuie, Soha, Dohee, Junhwi, plus maknae Seungjoo—are owning their rookie glow-up hard. From underground buzz to sold-out fanmeets in Seoul by year’s end, they’re the antidote to cookie-cutter K-pop: diverse, defiant, evolving from debut’s bold “SAY MY NAME” EP through sophomore heat into this vibe manifesto. At just months in, they’re already teasing a 2026 world tour, proving iNKODE’s first girl group isn’t playing small.
