2022 has been a year of surprises for 24-years old singer and songwriter Steve Lacy with his song ‘Bad Habits’ breaking first place after his first album ‘Apollo XXI’ (2019) made him a bona fide Grammy nominee for Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2020. The song which came out on 29 June 2022, became a mainstream breakthrough for the artist. It soon ranked #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list and became the first song ever to top the charts of all three genres: Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot R&B Songs.
The song first debuted at #100 and then climbed its way up to #1. It also won him nominations for two awards at the Grammys: Record of the Year and Song of the Year. The artist explains that the song speaks volumes about his journey of finding himself, and the truth of his personal life bleeds through in the lyrics. The lyrics are composed in a conversational manner, which the artist explains is how he talks to his friends when he is venting.
The most appealing factor about the song is the 2000s vibe that it exuberates. The music video is also extremely endearing as the artist thoroughly enjoys himself throughout the song. The second single from his album ‘Gemini Rights’, ‘Bad Habits’ is a chiming guitar ballad of the could-haves and should-haves of the artist’s reflection after he failed to pursue a relationship because he was unsure about the other person’s feelings and was afraid that he might get rejected. This self-doubt has been beautifully portrayed in the song by adding a peppy and humorous vibe to the entire track. He ensures that the song remains relatable to his audience. This brilliant number is available on YouTube, where listeners can also check out Steve Lacy’s other songs like ‘Dark Red’ and ‘Static’.
