Bad Habits is a modern-vintage soul summer jam by Canadian R&B artist Ruben Young, and produced by Canadian hip hop legend Classified. The third single of Ruben’s breakout year features his trademark raspy vocals, a nostalgic soul/hip hop groove, and a deadly hook.
Coming off of a huge summer of opening for The Chainsmokers, Akon and Classified, Ruben is excited to release the title single from his upcoming record, The Bad Habits EP.
Bad Habits is an ode to the vices – to the temptation, the lust, and the games we can’t kick. About the piece, Ruben has said, “I wrote it in the fall of 2015, following my ‘relapse’ for a girl I’d been chasing since I was 16 years old. She’s never been good for me, and I’ve known it all along. We kept our ‘relationship’ a secret, and it became more of an affair. She was my forbidden secret – my bad habit. 7 years later, it all came crashing down. I think everyone’s guilty of falling for someone who they couldn’t get over; even though they knew they needed to. For me, she was dangerous, and I loved that about her.”
