Bad Habits (Maxwell)

Maxwell

Bad Habits works as a pop selection rather than an automatic party anthem. This is a deeper cut for listeners who know Maxwell well. Treat it as a performance piece, not a guaranteed group singalong.

Useful detail

Performance tip

For Bad Habits, aim the repeated questions at one imagined listener so they sound intentional rather than merely recited. For Bad Habits, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Bad Habits, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
