I will execute this review now --K. Peake 09:17, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• Mention in the first sentence that it was from the former's fifth major-label studio album
• Swap the release and writing/production sentences
• "as the lead single from" → "as the lead single from the album" with the wikilink
• "and Vindver produced it." → "and Vindver handled the production." but these credits need to be fully written out in prose
• ""Bad for Me" has lyrics about" → "it has lyrics about"
• Add a sentence about critical reception at the start of the second para
• "performed it on television shows including" → "performed it on television shows in 2022, including"

Background

• "studio albums in 2020," → "studio albums in 2020:"
• "as an attempt to "adapt" → "since she was "adapting" per the source
• "fifth one, in May the following year," → "fifth one in May 2022,"
• "the lead single from it." → "the lead single from the album."
• "along with its lyrics" → "along with the lyrics"
• Mention that it was released as a single and where is the guest vocals part sourced?

Composition

• Retitle to Composition and lyrics
• Mention the songwriters here since you have mentioned the producer
• Pipe keyboards to Keyboard instrument
• "it at Sterling Sound in" → "the song at Sterling Sound in" with the pipe per MOS:LINK2SECT
• ""Bad for Me" is a" → "Musically, "Bad for Me" is a"
• "incorporates the piano" → "incorporates a piano"
• Pipe acoustic to Acoustic guitar
• Remove or replace Forbes per WP:FORBES
• Remove or replace The Breeze per WP:RSSM
• "to name the subject but dispelled the idea that it" → "to name the subject, but dispelled the idea it"

Reception

• ""[The song] is a" → ""[The song] ... is a" per the source's full quote
• "a pop masterpiece", and complimented" → "a pop masterpiece." He also complimented" per MOS:QUOTE
• Mention that the Adult Contemporary chart is a Billboard one
• Merge the Adult Top 40 and Canadian Digital Song Sales chart sentences per the overly short length

Music video

• Merge with the below section and retitle to Promotion per the overly short sizes
• "In it, Trainor and Swims" → "In the video, Trainor and Swims"

Live performances

• Make this the second para of the above section
• "On August 24, 2022 they" → "On August 24, 2022, they"

Charts

• Good

Release history

• None of these should be sortable
• Format → Format(s)

References

• Copyvio score looks fab at 18.0%!!!
• Why is Meghan Trainor linked on ref 14 but not ref 9? Also, shouldn't it cite Epic Records as publisher and her as author?

• I was advised against putting the label as the publisher at an FAC, apparently it causes an internal ref error that is visible when the page is edited.

• Remove or replace ref 18 per WP:FORBES
• Remove or replace ref 19 per WP:RSSM
• Cite Today as work/website instead on ref 32

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed! --K. Peake 10:44, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks for completing this review so quickly, K. Peake! Everything should be addressed.--NØ 12:43, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

• MaranoFan Your welcome, however where are the guest vocals sourced on the mention in the body and why is Meghan Trainor not linked to on the Twitter ref? --K. Peake 08:54, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

The sentence "features American singer-songwriter Teddy Swims" is included in the Background section and sourced to this. Her recording it as a duet with Swims is also reliably sourced and included in the Composition and lyrics section, and a comment about them sharing vocal chemistry on it from a reliable critic is also present in the Reception section. Introducing a wikilink in the user field of the cite tweet template produces errors so I won't be able to do that one. Regards.--NØ 09:35, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

• ✓ Pass now, this looks fine! --K. Peake 10:05, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
