The original and fresh single “Bad Habit,” is grounded by its catchy and relatable lyrics, admirable sense y of courage, and nostalgic sound. Dorman’s unique, commanding, and alluring vocals are perfectly paired with a confession-like storyline.

However, its overall sound flows with a sweeping sense of joy that is too real to ignore. Because of this, the speaker’s explosive emotions are appreciated and loudly supported, as opposed to being shamed and shunned. By the time audiences reach the pop hit’s chorus, listeners are chaotically rooting for the pair of friends to become an established pair of lovers.
Dorman’s vivid and rich sound is anchored by striking drums, vibrant electronic beats, animated guitar reverbs, and a crisp pop sound that is warm and reminiscent of bold love confessions. Dorman’s identity as an artist thrives due to her masterful ability of fusing dynamic lyrics with dynamic tunes, without producing an intensity that overwhelms listeners. The song’s message on love and courage pushes romance to be embraced as a daring and spirited experience, that when approached with honesty sparkles: “It’s true I'm falling for you / And I gotta let you know that / I can't deny this feeling inside / with your lips on mine its paralyzing.” There is a balance at play that enables “Bad Habit” to shine as a one-of-a-kind pop hit.
