"Want You Bad" was the second single from The Offspring's Conspiracy of One album.

The title is a play on words, with the narrator of the song saying to his girlfriend he wants her 'bad' as in a gothic way, rather than he wants her 'badly'. This is indicated in the lines of the song 'Grow out those highlights', 'I want you in a vinyl suit' etc.

The video showed the band playing at a college foam party, with the cans and other equipment featuring the album logo.

The song was sold as just a single unlike the band's previous song, Original Prankster, which was a free downloadable song on the band's website. Like their previous songs, it charted quite low on the billboard charts, however it was still featured on their Greatest Hits album.
