Built To Be Bad (remix) (feat. Alex Sampson)

Grace Gachot's 'Built To Be Bad (remix)' featuring Alex Sampson delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship marred by betrayal and the internal conflict between seeking revenge and holding onto love. The song opens with the narrator reminiscing about the lengths they went to for their partner, capturing the essence of their dedication and the pain of unreciprocated feelings. The imagery of taking 'a hundred photographs' and feeling 'a hundred butterflies' underscores the depth of their affection, which contrasts sharply with the partner's apparent indifference and infidelity.

The narrative intensifies as the protagonist discovers a photograph of another girl, leading to a confrontation where the partner's excuses fall flat. Despite the betrayal, the protagonist struggles to sever ties, revealing a vulnerability and an inability to be 'bad' or vengeful. This internal conflict is poignantly expressed in the chorus, where the protagonist acknowledges the desire to retaliate but admits they are 'not built to be bad.' This refrain highlights the emotional complexity of the situation, where love and hurt coexist, making it difficult to take decisive action.

The song also explores the partner's perspective, adding depth to the narrative. The partner's attempts to apologize and the ensuing silence during a phone call illustrate the lingering connection and unresolved emotions. The mutual acknowledgment that neither party is 'built to be bad' underscores a shared vulnerability and a reluctance to inflict further pain, despite the hurt caused. This dynamic creates a poignant and relatable portrayal of the struggle between love, forgiveness, and the desire for revenge, making 'Built To Be Bad (remix)' a compelling exploration of human emotions in the face of betrayal.
