Dove Cameron turns the volume way up on [Unreleased Album], her debut full album that’s been simmering since those Alchemical EPs, locked in for [December 12, 2025], through Disruptor and Columbia Records, and Do It Bad is the cheeky firecracker she first let loose opening for Dua Lipa at Wembley, a sweaty, stage-lit promise of trouble that had the crowd hooked before the chorus even hit.
You could feel the shift when she debuted this one back in June, strutting through that Radical Optimism tour set with a choreo that matched the lyrics’ bite—think sharp hips and lingering stares, all wrapped in a pop pulse that’s got R&B swagger and just enough electronic hum to make it club-ready. It’s Dove leaning into her post-Disney glow-up, where the sound’s bolder, sultrier, with those la-la hooks floating over bass that drops like a dare. The whole thing’s about that thrill of going rogue in love: skinny-dipping in someone’s head, blowing them up like a drug, bringing them to their knees with diamonds and guillotines.
No wonder fans call it her villain origin story—it’s playful bad, the kind where you whisper names in the dark and wake up wanting more. She teased it live first, no studio polish yet, but those raw takes from Dublin to London nights show it’s got that intimate edge, produced in sessions that pulled from her goth-pop roots.
[Unreleased Album] shapes up as the big payoff after years of singles and volumes, a 12-track dive into transformation—alchemical vibes turning heartbreak to heat, with unreleased gems like this rubbing shoulders with hits like Too Much and Whatever You Like. Rumors have it slotted early, maybe track five, kicking off the heavier half after openers like Final Girl and Immortalized, all building to a close that flips vulnerability into victory. The concept’s pure Dove: shedding the good-girl shell for something unfiltered, clocking around 45 minutes of confessions that feel like late-night DMs. No major collabs teased, but her circle’s tight—expect those signature layered vocals she honed on Boyfriend.She’s owning this moment hard, fresh off those sold-out openers that proved she can command stadiums solo, and at 29, Dove’s trading teen-star gloss for a woman who’s unafraid to bare the messy wants. It’s evolution you can hear: from Descendants hooks to this seductive storm, showing she’s not just singing about bad anymore—she’s living it.

Lyrics of Do It Bad by Dove Cameron
[Chorus]
Don’t Know What You’re Started, Baby, You Know How You Came
Can’t You See I’m Swimming, Skinny Dipping In Your Brain?
I’m Drawing You To Me, Baby, Whispering Your Name Like
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
I Wanna Do It To You Bad, Do It Bad
Do Things You Wouldn’t Tell Your Dad, Make Him Mad
I Wanna Blow You Up, Baby, You’re Such A Drug
I Wanna Keep You Up All Night Like Jet-jet Lag
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, There’s A Place That I Know
Only We Can Go
Oh, Let Me Open Your Mind
Baby, Close Your Eyes
[Chorus]
Don’t Know What You Started, Baby, You Know Why You Came
Can’t You See I’m Swimming, Skinny Dipping In Your Brain?
I’m Drawing You To Me, Baby, Whispering Your Name Like
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t Know What You Started, Baby, You Know Why You Came
Can’t You See I’m Swimming, Skinny Dipping In Your Brain

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
I’m Gonna Bring You To Your Knees, To Your Knees
I’m Gonna Make You Roll Your Head, Guillotine
Blood On Your Tongue From All The Diamonds In My Teeth
Give Me What I Want And I’ll Give You What You Need
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s A Place That I Know
Only We Can Go
Let Me Open Your Mind
Baby, Close Your Eyes
[Chorus]
Don’t Know What You Started, Baby, You Know Why You Came
Can’t You See I’m Swimming, Skinny Dipping In Your Brain?

Don’t Know What You Started, Don’t Know, Don’t Know What You Started, Boy
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
