In an interview with iHeartRadio, Taylor revealed that the song has an alien abduction metaphor.
“The metaphor in ‘Down Bad’ is that I was comparing sort of the idea of being love bombed,” Taylor said. “Where someone…rocks your world and dazzles you and then just kind of abandons you….This girl is abducted by aliens but she wanted to stay with them…And then when they drop her back off in her hometown, she’s like, ‘Wait, no, where are you going? I liked it there! It was weird but it was cool. Come back!’ And so…the girl in the character in the song felt like, ‘I’ve just been exposed to a whole different galaxy and universe and didn’t know it was possible, how could you just put me back where I was before?’”
Some fans are connecting dots to Matty Healy.
