Under the objective of creating “something super lighthearted, witty and fun”, mixed with a “personal experience with an ex-boyfriend who ended up prioritizing his friends and cars over our relationship”, Vicky Rai creates ‘Bad Decision’.
‘Bad Decision’ is a fresh and captivating track that effortlessly blends catchy pop melodies with infectious energy. From the moment the song begins, the performance of her voice takes the protagonist’s role, because effortlessly carries the song, displaying a perfect balance of power and vulnerability.
The song uses electronic elements and pulsating synths adding an undeniable groove, and creating the urge to move along with the music. Vicky infuses her music with the youthful energy and heartfelt lyricism reminiscent of other female powerhouses such as Tate McRae, Olivia Rodrigo, and Sabrina Carpenter.
Lyrically, ‘Bad Decision’ explores the loyalty that is needed in a relationship, where you expect to be the priority for that person, but also the feeling of escape that came to you when you realize you need to leave all that behind and look for something better because you know you deserve it.
With phrases like: “You said some stupid shit I can’t forgive/ And if I ever start to miss you/ I’ll think about that so I can hate you again/ Oh I’m so over it, got no regrets/ Sad I can’t say the same for you/ Cause I know you cry to all of your friends/ And your mom and especially your dad/ All they do is spoil you and that’s just really sad (…)” Vicky talks to that person who is not at her mental or existential level.
Vicky Rai delivers the message with conviction and authenticity, leaning on a chorus that is particularly contagious. But even though it is a song that talks about a love disappointment, it radiates a positive energy that is difficult to resist, making it an ideal song for both casual listening and dance floors.
Originating from Toronto, Canada, Vicky carries a profound Portuguese ancestry, fueling her unwavering devotion to music and the art of performance from her earliest recollections. As a gifted singer-songwriter, she artfully composes poignant melodies that explore the intricacies of human connections.
With an impressive track record, Vicky‘s music has amassed over 200K streams, attracting the attention of prestigious radio stations such as Radio TFSC, Radio Azores Canada, 1059 The Region, CIRV Radio, and ReachOnAir. Independent music blogs like Music Buzz, Moan Barrow, and ESCCovers have showered her with praise, boldly proclaiming her as “The next big thing.”
