Why You Treat Me So Bad

About Why You Treat Me So Bad

"Why You Treat Me So Bad" is a 1987 single by Club Nouveau from their 1986 album Life, Love & Pain. The basic melodic hook of the song is taken from a hit by Club Nouveau member Jay King's previous project as producer, Timex Social Club (namely, the song "Thinkin' About Ya"). The song has been sampled by other musicians. "Why You Treat Me So Bad" was interpolated by the hip-hop duo Luniz, on their hit single "I Got 5 on It" which was then sampled by rapper/record producer, Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs, on his #1 R&B single, "Satisfy You". The introduction of the song Only U by singer-songwriter Ashanti uses a sample of "Why You Treat Me So Bad". Singer Gwen Stefani's 2004 solo debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. was initially conceived after she listened to the song while being on tour with her rock band No Doubt. more »
