Make Me Bad is a song written and recorded by the American nu metal band Korn for their fourth studio album, Issues. Many Korn fans interpret the lyrics as being about frontman Jonathan Davis's struggle with alcohol and drug abuse, and his decision to get sober a year before the release of Issues. It was released as the album's second single in February 2000, achieving major success on U.S. and rock radio stations and in the U.K. The Alien-inspired music video is one of the most expensive videos Korn has ever filmed, featuring actors Brigitte Nielsen, Udo Kier, Tatjana Patitz, and Shannyn Sossamon. An acoustic medley of "Make Me Bad" and The Cure's "In Between Days" was performed with The Cure for the MTV Unplugged series in December 2006.
