"Bad at Love" is a song by American singer Halsey from her second studio album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (2017). It was released on June 2, 2017, through Astralwerks as the second single from the album.[1] Halsey co-wrote the song with Justin Tranter, Ricky Reed, and Rogét Chahayed, with the song being produced by the latter two. Lyrically, the song encompasses the protagonist's past relationships and the reasons they were unsuccessful.[2]

"Bad at Love" debuted at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 and later peaked at number five, making it Halsey's first top-five entry on the chart as a lead artist. It also reached number one on the Dance Club Songs chart in the US, and at number two on the Mainstream Top 40 chart in the country. "Bad at Love" was certified 6× Platinum in the US, and 3× Platinum in Canada.

"Bad at Love" earned Halsey two award nominations: one at the Teen Choice Awards, and one at the iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards. Between 2017 and 2018, she performed the song live on Ellen, Saturday Night Live, Good Morning America. On the original setlist of her Hopeless Fountain Kingdom World Tour, it was listed at number 11, and on the changed setlist, it was an encore.
