My Top 100 Favourite Songs 2010-14 Edition: #60

#60. “Bad Girls" – MIA

Released: 31/1/12

Album: Matangi

MIA's breakthrough song "Paper Planes" had come out five years by the point "Bad Girls" came out and she didn't really have much success after which is a shame. But with "Bad Girls" MIA had another shot at the mainstream and created a fine RnB track, one that got a decent amount of airplay and actually was used in quite a few commercials if I remember correctly. It's got some lovely Middle Eastern samples in the song and as you can imagine, the song is all about "girl power" and being a strong female. It's a very simple yet inspiring song for all young girls and very catchy to boot. Me likey.

Here's the music video if you want to hear it!
