Bad Boys

The song is about Alexandra’s natural tendency towards Bad man! In an interview with Popjustice, Alexandra said, “I’ve got a passion against liars, but I do like myself a bad boy. All young girls my age go for them, we just don’t like to admit it, because we always go for them.” Alexandra also talked about her previous relationship with bad boys in an interview with The Sun Magazine, she said: “I’ve only ever had two serious relationships and they were both bad boys. I think every girl gets drawn to bad boys at a young age. I was 16 when I had my first relationship. It lasted about two years. Then I dated another guy for six months last year. But he was a bit of a nutcase. I let him go just before X Factor went live. He was very insecure and I have no time for that. There’s been no one since.”
