🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
  • You know it used to be mad love
  • So take a look what you've done
  • 'Cause baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

Echo the hook

  • You and I
  • 'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
  • You know it used to be mad love
  • So take a look what you've done
