ou thought Lizzo was done? Please. The body-positive icon and reigning queen of feel-good bangers just announced she’s about to hit us with another anthem. Still Bad lands this Thursday (March 14) at 12PM EST, and if the snippets she’s been teasing are any indication, it’s about to be a strut-worthy, ex’s-worst-nightmare level of confidence boost.
Taking to Instagram, Lizzo shared a moody, red-tinted close-up of herself with the caption, “STILL BAD THURSDAY 12PM EST,” because subtlety has never been her thing. Fans immediately went into a frenzy, hyping up the release and speculating on the track’s vibe.
A Follow-Up to Her Comeback
This new release comes just weeks after Love in Real Life, Lizzo’s first official single since 2022’s Special. That album not only hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200, but also gave us the inescapable hit About Damn Time—aka, the track that had everyone and their mother attempting a TikTok dance challenge.
Lizzo has been teasing Still Bad with cryptic posts and snippets of lyrics that are basically the breakup recovery guide we all need. One line that’s already making waves? “Plot twist, I’m doing great. I make that ‘been through’ sh*t look sexy anyway.” Yeah, this one’s for everyone who ever walked away from a toxic situation looking even better than before.
And if that wasn’t enough, a previously leaked snippet gave us, “He act like he can’t be replaced, OK? / Well, he gon’ hate to see me leave / But love to watch me walk away.” Safe to say, this is shaping up to be the ultimate self-love anthem.
Lizzo’s Return to the Spotlight
Aside from her Barbie soundtrack song Pink, Lizzo has kept relatively quiet musically since Special. But 2024 is proving to be her comeback era, and she’s doing it on her own terms. After dealing with public scrutiny and legal battles last year, she made it clear she’s focusing on herself, her fans, and her music—oh, and probably shaking her a** in the process.
The Yitty founder’s return has been nothing short of triumphant, and with Still Bad, she’s here to remind everyone exactly why she’s one of the most unstoppable forces in pop music.
So set your reminders, because when noon hits on Thursday, Lizzo is about to bless us with the confidence anthem we didn’t know we needed—but absolutely do.
