At first, I thought of doing a review on one of his albums. But, it got really difficult for me to choose one from all the 8 amazing albums. So instead, I thought of doing a review on his recent single "Bad things" which was released on October 14, 2016 featuring Camila Cabello. This song was produced by The Futuristics. Its music video was premiered on December 1, 2016 which was directed by Hannah Lux Davis. The single has reached a peak of number four on the US Billboard Hot 100.

According to me, this song is one of the best songs of MGK. I personally love this song as MGK being one of my favorite artists but I genuinely feel that this is a very unique song and I never get tired from listening to it. I was introduced to MGK's music by my boyfriend and honestly at first I didn't quite like it but later as I kept on listening to his music, I thought his music were very nice and I started listening to it even more. "Bad Things" has to be my favorite song of him. I can listen to it over and over and not get tired of it. From the beat to the music to the lyrics, everything about this song is simply amazing. I think he did a great job on this one and I am hoping to hear more from him.
