nick! Faces a Difficult Cycle on “bad habits”

Some relationships are difficult to leave behind, even when all the warning signs are impossible to ignore. On “bad habits”, nick! explores that frustrating pull towards someone who has already proven they are not good for him.

Taken from the album Life Is Strange.., the track focuses on the addictive patterns that can form within a toxic relationship. It captures the conflict between recognising the damage and still feeling drawn back into the same situation, turning that emotional struggle into something honest and relatable.

Atmospheric production gives “bad habits” its late-night feel, while catchy melodies make the track easy to return to. Beneath its smooth, modern sound, though, sits a vulnerable piece of songwriting about how difficult it can be to break familiar patterns.

That combination suits nick!’s melodic approach to hip-hop and rap. Rather than overstating the emotion, he allows the tension to sit within the track, reflecting the uncertainty of wanting to move forward while being tempted to fall back into old behaviour.

“bad habits” also fits naturally into the wider themes of Life Is Strange... The album takes an introspective look at relationships, personal struggles and the complicated feelings that often come with both.

With its emotional weight, memorable melodies and atmospheric sound, “bad habits” is made for late-night listening. It finds nick! caught between knowing better and wanting more, it captures a cycle that many listeners will recognise.
