Femme Fatale are back and blazing brighter than ever. Decades after setting the Sunset Strip on fire with their self-titled debut, the iconic 80s glam-metal outfit return with their explosive new single “Bad Love.” Fronted by the unstoppable Lorraine Lewis, the track follows their comeback single “Living Like There’s No Tomorrow,” which made waves earlier this year. With “Bad Love,” Femme Fatale have reignited the spark that made them one of rock’s most magnetic forces.
Directed by Vicente Cordero and filmed by David Hernandez, the video for “Bad Love” is pure visual adrenaline. True to its name, the production features real flames, fire performers, and even a special appearance by Eva Angelina, a real firefighter from the adult industry. “And yes,” Lorraine confirms. “That’s real fire. We also brought in some incredible fire performers and even a real firefighter from the adult industry named Eva Angelina. Without giving too much away, let’s just say the video is HOTTT!”
Written by Lorraine alongside guitarist and producer Steve Brown and guitarist David Julian, “Bad Love” dives deep into the tension between passion and danger. “It’s about that magnetic kind of connection you know isn’t good for you, but you keep going back anyway,” Lorraine explains. “It’s messy, it’s addictive, and it’s real. I wanted to capture that push-and-pull between desire and self-preservation. We’ve all been there. We see the red flag and still jump in headfirst… but if that red flag’s on fire? Baby, that’s your cue to run.”
Steve Brown brought together an all-star lineup for the track, featuring Joey Cassata on drums, Sean McNabb on bass, and a blistering guitar solo from Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal. The result is a hard-hitting anthem that channels the spirit of classic Femme Fatale while pushing their sound into scorching new territory.
As Lorraine puts it best, “There’s no faking that heat.” “Bad Love” is proof that Femme Fatale’s fire never faded — it’s only grown hotter.
