The Belgian artist has been a hit for a week with her new single in which she denounces a toxic relationship. But who is this “Bad Boy”?
Helena has once again delighted her many fans by offering a new and musically surprising title. The star even describes his hit “Bad Boy” as a UFO. At the text level, she does not change her habits and continues to denounce what is wrong in society. After attacking the dictates of thinness in “Summer Body”, Helena wants to take revenge on a toxic companion.
A very personal story that makes its audience react. Who is the Belgian star addressing in “Mauvais Garçon”? This man is Helena's ex who belittled her when she was only 16, as she reveals in an interview for Gala: “I showed Vincha (songwriter who works with Helena) directly the conversation I had with 'bad boy' with the not very nice messages I had received and reading them, I said to myself that at 16, it wasn't nice and I felt angry, telling myself that I didn't deserve this, that how could I have stayed. I was angry, and from that feeling came the song.”
Helena: “It was a little bit of Voldemort”
This relationship fortunately ended but remained taboo at home: “For Bad Boy, I told Vincha that 'bad boy', at home, we didn't say his first name, he was a little bit like Voldemort, no one dares to talk about him by pronouncing his name. There therefore has the idea of the theme and the angle”, adds Helena about her single.
Today, the one nicknamed the “Queen of Belgium” is determined to no longer let herself be fooled, as she reveals at the end of her song with these words: “I found the love of myself that was waiting for me far from his arms. Now I know that never again will a bad boy extinguish me.”
