A new track about “putting in energy into a relationship and not getting anything in return”
Omar Apollo has shared a new single, and it features Kali Uchis. “Bad Life” was produced by Teo Halm. It’s the musician’s second collaboration, following Apolonio’s “Hey Boy.” Give a listen to “Bad Life” below. Apollo said of the new single in a statement:
To me, “Bad Life” represents putting in energy into a relationship and not getting anything in return. It’s a song about being resentful towards somebody—wanting them to have “bad life” with whoever they’re with now. I posted a snippet in January teasing it and Kali called me telling me she loved it, so I asked her if she wanted to get on it. Her voice sounds amazing on it, I love her tone.
