It was released on May 21, 2002, by Gold Circle Records. Following the commercial disappointment of her previous album, ''[Deconstruction](/source/Deconstruction_(Meredith_Brooks_album))'' (1999), Brooks was dropped from [Capitol Records](/source/Capitol_Records). Brooks subsequently signed to Gold Circle Records and built a [home studio](/source/home_recording) to record and produce the album herself, with additional production from frequent collaborator [David Darling](/source/Dave_Darling). ''Bad Bad One'' received little commercial recognition, with Gold Circle Records folding shortly after the album's release. Despite this minimal commercial recognition, the album received praise from [music critics](/source/Music_journalism). In 2004, the album was [reissued](/source/Reissue) under the title '''''Shine''''' by Kissing Booth Records. The reissue had a rearranged track listing and included an additional remix of "Shine," which was featured as the theme song for ''[Dr. Phil](/source/Dr._Phil_(talk_show))'' from 2004 to 2008. ==Recording== Brooks recorded over 50 songs for the album over the course of two years before she finalized a track listing of 12 songs.{{cite magazine |last=Newman |first=Melinda |title=The Beat: Golden Girl |magazine=[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine)) |volume=114 |issue=6 |page=12 |publication-date=February 9, 2002}}{{ cite news | url=https://www.mtv.com/news/1452780/meredith-brooks-preps-album-produces-jennifer-love-hewitt-lp/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141015020248/http://www.mtv.com/news/1452780/meredith-brooks-preps-album-produces-jennifer-love-hewitt-lp/ | url-status=dead | archive-date=October 15, 2014 | title=Meredith Brooks Preps Album, Produces Jennifer Love Hewitt LP |publisher=MTV News|date=March 6, 2002 | access-date=May 2, 2022}} With ''Bad Bad One'', Brooks sought to take more control over her music, resulting in her building a [home studio](/source/Home_recording) and learning [Pro Tools](/source/Pro_Tools) so that she could freely engineer and produce the entire album herself. Speaking on the freedom that this home studio allowed her, Brooks commented: "Musically, lyrically, vocally, and guitar-wise, I realized that for the first time I could do everything I wanted to do. If I didn't like my vocal, I could just go down at 2 a.m. and redo it. It allowed me to develop more." Brooks described ''Bad Bad One'' as a complete fulfillment of her creative vision, claiming that she was not under the usual pressure to be "politically, spiritually or romantically correct."{{cite magazine|title=Artist Activity: Meredith Brooks|magazine=[Radio & Records](/source/Radio_%26_Records)|issue=1448|page=75|date=April 12, 2002}} ==Release== The release of ''Bad Bad One'' was met with several delays.

In 2004, [Dr. Phil](/source/Dr._Phil) selected "Shine" to be the theme song for his [eponymous talk show](/source/Dr._Phil_(talk_show)). This renewed interest in the song resulted in a reissue of ''Bad Bad One'' on September 21, 2004, by [Savoy Records](/source/Savoy_Records). The reissue was titled ''Shine'' and featured a rearranged track listing and an additional remix of "Shine" used during ''Dr. Phil''.{{cite magazine |last=Newman|first=Melinda|title=Brooks Gets Second Chance to 'Shine' |magazine=[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine)) |volume=116 |issue=34 |page=13 |publication-date=August 21, 2004}} ==Critical reception== {{Album ratings | rev1 = [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) | rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}}{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=mw0000659527|pure_url=yes}}|title=''Bad Bad One'' – Meredith Brooks|author=MacKenzie Wilson |website=[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) |access-date=May 2, 2022}} }} MacKenzie Wilson of [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) praised the versatile and carefree nature of the album. She commented: "Meredith Brooks captured the moment and claimed victory on ''Bad Bad One''. She found an inspiration -- it's fiery and passionate while also literate and cathartic -- and ran with it." Michael Paoletta of ''[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))'' referred to the effort as a "welcome return that shows the kids a thing or two." Paoletta highlighted "Shine," "You Don't Know Me," and "Where Lovers Meet" as standouts from the album.{{cite magazine |last=Paoletta |first=Michael |title=Reviews & Previews |magazine=[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine)) |volume=114 |issue=22 |page=26 |publication-date=June 1, 2002}} == Track listing == {{Track listing | headline = ''Bad Bad One'' {{nobold|– Standard edition}}{{cite AV media notes|title=Bad Bad One|others=[Meredith Brooks](/source/Meredith_Brooks)|year=2002|type=CD liner notes|publisher=Gold Circle Records|id=gc-50016-2}} | total_length = 50:08 | title1 = Crazy | writer1 = {{hlist|[Meredith Brooks](/source/Meredith_Brooks)|[Taylor Rhodes](/source/Taylor_Rhodes)}} | length1 = 3:51 | title2 = High | writer2 = Brooks | length2 = 3:20 | title3 = Bad Bad One | writer3 = {{hlist|Brooks|Paul Trudeau}} | length3 = 4:45 | title4 = Pleasure | writer4 = Brooks | length4 = 4:24 | title5 = Pain | writer5 = {{hlist|Brooks|Rhodes|[Dave Berg](/source/Dave_Berg_(songwriter))}} | length5 = 3:35 | title6 = You Don't Know Me | writer6 = {{hlist|Brooks|Trudeau|Paul Goldowitz}} | length6 = 4:27 | title7 = Where Lovers Meet | writer7 = Brooks | length7 = 3:51 | title8 = Walk Away | writer8 = Brooks | length8 = 4:31 | title9 = Your Name | writer9 = Brooks | length9 = 5:20 | title10 = Shine | writer10 = {{hlist|Brooks|[David Darling](/source/Dave_Darling)|[Shelly Peiken](/source/Shelly_Peiken)}} | length10 = 3:21 | title11 = Lucky Day | writer11 = {{hlist|Brooks|Rhodes}} | length11 = 3:33 | title12 = Stand | writer12 = Brooks | length12 = 5:10}} {{Main|Shine (Meredith Brooks album)}} {{Track listing | headline = ''Shine'' {{nobold|– Reissue}}{{cite AV media notes|title=Shine|others=Meredith Brooks|year=2004|type=CD liner notes|publisher=Kissing Booth Records|id=SLG17451}} | total_length = 52:09 | title1 = Shine | writer1 = {{hlist|Brooks|Darling|Peiken}} | length1 = 3:21 | title2 = Crazy | writer2 = {{hlist|Brooks|Rhodes}} | length2 = 3:51 | title3 = Lucky Day | writer3 = {{hlist|Brooks|Rhodes}} | length3 = 3:33 | title4 = Where Lovers Meet | writer4 = Brooks | length4 = 3:51 | title5 = Bad Bad One | writer5 = {{hlist|Brooks|Trudeau}} | length5 = 4:45 | title6 = You Don't Know Me | writer6 = {{hlist|Brooks|Trudeau|Goldowitz}} | length6 = 4:27 | title7 = Pleasure | writer7 = Brooks | length7 = 4:24 | title8 = Pain | writer8 = {{hlist|Brooks|Rhodes|Berg}} | length8 = 3:35 | title9 = Walk Away | writer9 = Brooks | length9 = 4:31 | title10 = Your Name | writer10 = Brooks | length10 = 5:20 | title11 = High | writer11 = Brooks | length11 = 3:20 | title12 = Stand | writer12 = Brooks | length12 = 5:10 | title13 = Shine | note13 = [Dr. Phil](/source/Dr._Phil_(talk_show)) remix | writer13 = {{hlist|Brooks|Darling|Peiken}} | length13 = 2:01}} == Personnel == Credits are adapted from the [liner notes](/source/liner_notes) of ''Bad Bad One''. ;Production * [Meredith Brooks](/source/Meredith_Brooks) – writer, producer, engineering, Pro Tools * [David Darling](/source/Dave_Darling) – writer, producer, engineering, programming * [Taylor Rhodes](/source/Taylor_Rhodes) – writer * Paul Trudeau – writer * [Dave Berg](/source/Dave_Berg_(songwriter)) – writer * Paul Goldowitz – writer * [Shelly Peiken](/source/Shelly_Peiken) – writer * Jeff Peters – engineering * Goldo – Pro Tools, additional programming * Seth McClain – Pro Tools * Michael Parnell – Pro Tools * Tom Baker – mastering * Robert Zuckerman – photography ;Instruments * Meredith Brooks – electric guitars, acoustic guitars, slide guitars, lead vocals, background vocals * David Darling – bass guitar, keyboards, additional background vocals, additional guitars * [Abe Laboriel Jr.](/source/Abe_Laboriel_Jr.) – drums * Paul Trudeau – synthesizer, piano, additional background vocals * Livingstone Brown – additional background vocals, Moog synthesizer, French horn, additional keyboards * Windy Wagner – additional background vocals * [Jennifer Love Hewitt](/source/Jennifer_Love_Hewitt) – additional background vocals * Randy Landas – bass guitar * DJ Ginzu – turntables == Charts == '''Singles''' {| class="wikitable" !Year !Single !Chart !Position |- |2002 |"Shine" |Adult Top 40 |align="center"|35{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/meredith-brooks-p184634/charts-awards/billboard-singles |title=Meredith Brooks Billboard Singles |work=[Allmusic](/source/Allmusic) |publisher= |accessdate=June 11, 2011}} |- |} ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Meredith Brooks}} {{Authority control}} Category:Meredith Brooks albums Category:2002 albums Category:Albums produced by Dave Darling --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Bad Bad One](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bad_One) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bad_One?action=history)).
