It was released on May 21, 2002, by Gold Circle Records. Following the commercial disappointment of her previous album, ''[[Deconstruction (Meredith Brooks album)|Deconstruction]]'' (1999), Brooks was dropped from [[Capitol Records]]. Brooks subsequently signed to Gold Circle Records and built a [[home recording|home studio]] to record and produce the album herself, with additional production from frequent collaborator [[Dave Darling|David 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 journalism|music critics]]. In 2004, the album was [[Reissue|reissued]] 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 (talk show)|Dr. Phil]]'' 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.<ref name="billboard">{{cite magazine |last=Newman |first=Melinda |title=The Beat: Golden Girl |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |volume=114 |issue=6 |page=12 |publication-date=February 9, 2002}}</ref><ref name="mtv">{{ 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}}</ref> With ''Bad Bad One'', Brooks sought to take more control over her music, resulting in her building a [[Home recording|home studio]] and learning [[Pro Tools]] so that she could freely engineer and produce the entire album herself.<ref name="mtv"/> 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."<ref name="billboard"/> 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."<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Artist Activity: Meredith Brooks|magazine=[[Radio & Records]]|issue=1448|page=75|date=April 12, 2002}}</ref> ==Release== The release of ''Bad Bad One'' was met with several delays.

In 2004, [[Dr. Phil]] selected "Shine" to be the theme song for his [[Dr. Phil (talk show)|eponymous talk show]]. This renewed interest in the song resulted in a reissue of ''Bad Bad One'' on September 21, 2004, by [[Savoy Records]]. The reissue was titled ''Shine'' and featured a rearranged track listing and an additional remix of "Shine" used during ''Dr. Phil''.<ref name="billboard5">{{cite magazine |last=Newman|first=Melinda|title=Brooks Gets Second Chance to 'Shine' |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |volume=116 |issue=34 |page=13 |publication-date=August 21, 2004}}</ref> ==Critical reception== {{Album ratings | rev1 = [[AllMusic]] | rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}}<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=mw0000659527|pure_url=yes}}|title=''Bad Bad One'' β Meredith Brooks|author=MacKenzie Wilson |website=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=May 2, 2022}}</ref> }} MacKenzie Wilson of [[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."<ref name="allmusic"/> Michael Paoletta of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' 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.<ref name="billboard2">{{cite magazine |last=Paoletta |first=Michael |title=Reviews & Previews |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |volume=114 |issue=22 |page=26 |publication-date=June 1, 2002}}</ref> == Track listing == {{Track listing | headline = ''Bad Bad One'' {{nobold|β Standard edition}}<ref name="auto">{{cite AV media notes|title=Bad Bad One|others=[[Meredith Brooks]]|year=2002|type=CD liner notes|publisher=Gold Circle Records|id=gc-50016-2}}</ref> | total_length = 50:08 | title1 = Crazy | writer1 = {{hlist|[[Meredith Brooks]]|[[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 (songwriter)|Dave Berg]]}} | 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|[[Dave Darling|David Darling]]|[[Shelly Peiken]]}} | length10 = 3:21 | title11 = Lucky Day | writer11 = {{hlist|Brooks|Rhodes}} | length11 = 3:33 | title12 = Stand | writer12 = Brooks | length12 = 5:10}} {{Track listing | headline = ''Shine'' {{nobold|β Reissue}}<ref>{{cite AV media notes|title=Shine|others=Meredith Brooks|year=2004|type=CD liner notes|publisher=Kissing Booth Records|id=SLG17451}}</ref> | 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 (talk show)|Dr. Phil]] remix | writer13 = {{hlist|Brooks|Darling|Peiken}} | length13 = 2:01}} == Personnel == Credits are adapted from the [[liner notes]] of ''Bad Bad One''.<ref name="auto" /> ;Production * [[Meredith Brooks]] β writer, producer, engineering, Pro Tools * [[Dave Darling|David Darling]] β writer, producer, engineering, programming * [[Taylor Rhodes]] β writer * Paul Trudeau β writer * [[Dave Berg (songwriter)|Dave Berg]] β writer * Paul Goldowitz β writer * [[Shelly Peiken]] β writer * Jeff Peters β engineering * Goldo β Pro Tools, additional programming * Seth McClain β Pro Tools * Michael Parnell β Pro Tools * Tom Baker β mastering * Robert Zuckerman β photography ;Instruments * Meredith Brooks β electric guitars, acoustic guitars, slide guitars, lead vocals, background vocals * David Darling β bass guitar, keyboards, additional background vocals, additional guitars * [[Abe Laboriel Jr.]] β drums * Paul Trudeau β synthesizer, piano, additional background vocals * Livingstone Brown β additional background vocals, Moog synthesizer, French horn, additional keyboards * Windy Wagner β additional background vocals * [[Jennifer Love Hewitt]] β additional background vocals * Randy Landas β bass guitar * DJ Ginzu β turntables == Charts == '''Singles''' {| class="wikitable" !Year !Single !Chart !Position |- |2002 |"Shine" |Adult Top 40 |align="center"|35<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/meredith-brooks-p184634/charts-awards/billboard-singles |title=Meredith Brooks Billboard Singles |work=[[Allmusic]] |publisher= |accessdate=June 11, 2011}}</ref> |- |} ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Meredith Brooks}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:Meredith Brooks albums]] [[Category:2002 albums]] [[Category:Albums produced by Dave Darling]]
