"Make Me Bad" is a song written and recorded by the American nu metal band Korn for their fourth studio album, Issues. Many Korn fans interpret the lyrics to be about frontman Jonathan Davis' getting tired of drinking or drug abuse and his decision to get sober a year prior to Issues coming out. It was released as the album's second single in February 2000, enjoying major success on US rock radio stations and in the United Kingdom. The Alien-inspired music video is one of the most expensive videos Korn have ever filmed featuring actors Brigitte Nielsen, Udo Kier, Tatjana Patitz, and Shannyn Sossamon. An acoustic medley of "Make Me Bad" and The Cure's "In Between Days" was performed with The Cure for the MTV Unplugged series in December 2006.

The video was directed by Martin Weisz, and features actresses Brigitte Nielsen, Tatjana Patitz, Shannyn Sossamon, and actor Udo Kier. Brigitte and Udo would play villains in the 2000 film, Doomsdayer. It received its world premiere in February 2000 on the short-lived USA Network music show Farmclub, alongside Limp Bizkit's video for their single, "Break Stuff". Both groups made a guest appearance to introduce their respective videos. "Make Me Bad" gained heavy airplay on MTV and MTV2 at the time of its release. Towards the end of the video, the song "Dead", also from Issues, is heard in the background. "Make Me Bad" spent sixty-five days on MTV's Total Request Live,[2] becoming Korn's fourth and final "retired" video on June 8, 2000.


Sickness in Salvation mix


A retooled version of the video featuring Butch Vig's Sickness in Salvation remix aired occasionally during April and May 2000. It is featured as an easter egg on the band's home video Deuce.


MTV Unplugged rendition


The acoustic rendition of this song on the album MTV Unplugged: Korn is performed within a medley of The Cure's "In Between Days," with The Cure as special guests.[3]

«Make Me Bad» es una canción escrita y grabada por la banda estadounidense de metal alternativo Korn para su cuarto álbum de estudio Issues. Muchos fanes de Korn interpretan esta canción atribuido a que Jonathan Davis estaba cansado de tomar y del abuso de drogas y su decisión de abstenerse, un año antes de que el disco Issues saliera a la venta. Esta canción fue extraída de su álbum como el segundo sencillo, en febrero del año 2000, obteniendo moderada difusión en las radios estadounidenses y británicas. Su video (inspirado en la serie Alien) es uno de los mayor presupuesto que la banda haya filmado. Fue protagonizado por actores como Brigitte Nielsen, Udo Kier, Tatjana Patitz y Shannyn Sossamon. Una versión acústica de "Make Me Bad" y "In Between Days" (de The Cure) fue interpretada para el MTV Unplugged de Korn en diciembre de 2006.
