Donna Summer recorded "Bad Girls" during sessions for her seventh studio album, Bad Girls. The LP was recorded at Rusk Sound Studios in Los Angeles, California.
However, the song "Bad Girls" had a backstory that was inspired by a shocking case of mistaken identity. According to The Los Angeles Times, the song hailed from a chance encounter of a Casablanca Records employee, reportedly humiliated by police who accused her of being a Sunset Strip prostitute.
This event sparked Summer's empathy for women working on the streets. The story motivated Summer, Pete Bellotte, Harold Faltermeyer, and Keith Forsey to create a song that challenged societal judgments and stereotypes.
"Bad Girls" peaked at No. 1 on June 2, 1979 and remained at the top spot for three weeks. It remained on the charts for 21 weeks.
"He just thought it was too rock 'n' roll. He didn't think it was dance enough at the time, the way it was recorded originally," Summer explained.
She concluded, "This is my song. And I keep Cher - I love Cher, but she can't have my song right now."
