HANA Unleashes “Bad Girl”: A Raw, Relatable Anthem and Electrifying Performance
Japanese girl group HANA has officially dropped their highly anticipated new single, “Bad Girl,” on February 27, 2026. This powerful track, already a sensation as the campaign song for Apple’s “Group Selfie with iPhone 17 Pro” commercial, is accompanied by a captivating Performance Video that premiered on the same day.
The excitement surrounding “Bad Girl” has been building since its debut in the Apple commercial on March 6. Social media quickly erupted with fan comments like “Can’t wait for the release!” and “All seven members’ expressions are so stunning, I keep rewatching the CM.” The song also captivated audiences during HANA’s 1st Tour “BORN TO BLOOM,” further fueling anticipation for its digital release.
At its core, “Bad Girl” delves into the universal desire for love and acceptance. It’s a slightly bittersweet rock love song that articulates the awkwardness and internal conflict of struggling to be one’s true self in front of a loved one, instead striving to meet their ideal. Each of HANA’s seven members — CHIKA, NAOKO, JISOO, YURI, MOMOKA, KOHARU, and MAHINA — delivers these complex emotions through their distinct voices.

Paired with youthful costumes and dynamic staging, the video invites viewers to pay close attention to each member’s individual performance and emotional portrayal.
