"I Got It Bad" (stylized as "I got it bad") is a song by American singer Addison Rae from her debut extended play AR (2023). Rae wrote it with songwriters Madison Love and Leland and its producers, Oscar Görres and Rami Yacoub. The song became available as the EP's first track on August 18, 2023, when it was released by Sandlot Records.[4]

Rae first teased "I Got It Bad" on social media in 2021, with demo versions then circulating online as leaks and going viral in the following year before its official release in 2023 with a reworked mix.[5] It received positive reviews from critics, including Pitchfork, who deemed it a highlight from the EP and praised its early 2000s-inspired pop feel, drawing comparisons to Britney Spears, and Rae's delivery of lyrics that express infatuation with a "bad boy" to the point of obsession.[6][7][8] It reached number 31 on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart.[9]
