"Bad Girl" is a single by American singer
Release history
In 1989 Jackson started working on her sixth album, which was by then tentatively titled On My Own, with German producer Anthony Monn. The album was to be released by German label
TELDEC and RCA records decided not to release the 9-track On My Own album, reportedly because of issues with Jackson's then-manager Jack Gordon, and the album was shelved. It was not until 1990 that Gordon sold the album to Sherman Records, who first released it in Italy as 12" vinyl album and later licensed it to countless small labels to release it. The album was retitled
Live performances and music video
Teldec Records initiated a huge promotional campaign in June 1989 with Jackson presenting the song in four TV shows, including Günther Jauch's Na Siehste! (where she had previously performed her last single You Blew), followed by a performance on ZDF Fernsehgarten and the NDR Talk-Show (both shows being broadcast on the same day).
The music video for the track shows Jackson with two male dancers who also performed with her on the TV shows, one of them being what would later become the lead singer for the Captain Hollywood Project. The background is a bluescreen that shows Jackson and the dancers dancing on a street. Jackson also appears on the video driving a pink convertible Cadillac.
