Madison Beer stopped by The Tonight Show for the TV debut of her new song “Bad Enough.” The singer showcased the anthemic love song in a shimmering white gown and ethereal smoke.
“Bad Enough” comes off Beer’s new LP, Locket, which drops on Friday. The track, which will also get a music video on Friday, sees Beer croons about a problematic lover. “I know that it seems easy/ But I like that he needs me,” she sings. “My friends all say my standards are too low/ But it’s not bad enough to let my baby go.”
Beer has teamed with longtime collaborators One Love, LOSTBOY, and Leroy Clampitt on Locket, which also features her as co-producer. According to a press release, Beer had the album title in mind as she wrote the LP, “a mosaic of past memories and experiences with Beer at the helm, creatively fusing pop soundscapes.”
“After writing the album it feels like each song lives within this metaphorical locket for safe keeping,” Beer said in a statement. “Each album feels like an era and once the albums are out in the world the chapter for me, usually with what I wrote about, is closed.”
Beer, who recently performed Locket‘s two singles as part of her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show performance, told Rolling Stone that the album pushed her vocally.
“There’s one song that is very vocally challenging,” she said. “When I recorded this one song and I still had Twitter, I tweeted ‘Oh my God, I literally don’t know if I’m gonna be able to speak for a week.’ That was a feeling that I really enjoyed with this album. I really liked my desire to push myself and see what I was capable of. So I hope people like the vocals on this project because we spent a lot of time doing it.”
Beer will head out on tour in support of Locket in May. Her world tour kicks off in Kraków, Poland, on May 11 and wraps at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on July 13.
