It helped theBad Girls album to reachmulti-platinum status in the United States.

Background and recording

[edit]

The inspiration for Summer to write "Bad Girls" came after one of her assistants was offended by apolice officer who thought she was aprostitute. A rough version of the song had originally been written a couple of years before its release.Casablanca Records' founderNeil Bogart, upon hearing it, wanted Summer to give it toCher.[2] Summer refused and put it away for a couple of years.

A12-inch version of "Bad Girls" was released as amedley with "Hot Stuff". Although "Hot Stuff" was extended for the release, "Bad Girls" remained in the original full-length album version. Ademo version of "Bad Girls" was released on thedeluxe edition of theBad Girls album.

Critical reception

[edit]

Billboard magazine called "Bad Girls" a "brassydisco track, which features party sounding production embellishments like hems and whistles."[3]Record World magazine said that Summer's "sultry reading is perfect for the threatening street theme."[4]

Eventually, "Bad Girls" reached the top of the Hot 100 for the week of July 14, 1979, where it would stay for five weeks outperforming "Hot Stuff", which had topped the chart for three weeks.[6]
