Officer<\/a>\u2019s layered vocals glide over the instrumental as she unpacks the pain of believing in potential that never materialized. \u201cNever met someone that could lie like that,\u201d she sang before confronting her own misplaced hope through the song\u2019s refrain: \u201cMy bad for believing in you.\u201d The repetition grounded the record in realism rather than resentment and centered her experience without overstatement.<\/p>\n \u201cI wrote \u2018My Bad\u2019 for people who have the tendency to fall for someone\u2019s potential and believe they can become better for you, for themselves,\u201d Officer wrote on Instagram. \u201cI\u2019m here to tell [you] that it\u2019s not your job to believe, it\u2019s theirs. Until their actions follow their words, don\u2019t believe them. I hope everyone finds their forever. Until then: My bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
