Your Lover

The alternate cover sometimes used to represent the song since July 2021.

**Your Lover** (styalized in all lowercase) is the debut single by singer-songwriter Bad Karla.

## Promotion and background

The single was written and produced in just several hours, intended to be an "intentionally bad" song. The song received little promotion outside word of mouth promotion to friends and minor promotion on Twitter on now-deleted tweets.

## Music and lyrics

"Your Lover" has a length of two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. The song was produced entirely in garage-band, and recorded in a closet without headphones on an iphone. As a result of this, when the instrumental is removed, the instrumental is still audible through the microphone. The song is of the emo pop genre, with simple drums as the main part of the instrumental.

The lyrics tell the story of a toxic relationship, where the songwriter has no privacy in the relationship. These lyrics were later confirmed by the artist to be fictitious.

## Commercial performance

The song received #3 on the KKAAVG History Chart, however never returned to the chart after this. The song still currently has under 1000 streams on Spotify, with the artist confirming it is currently sitting around 500 streams.

## Critical reception

The song was received poorly by many critics, including the artist herself, who says that she regrets the song and wishes she never made it, or made it differently.
