Critical reception
Brennan Carley of Spin magazine wrote that "Bad Habits" has got "a loud, insistent, urgent sound to it, with a prominent string section underscoring the chaos with a sense of unease."[4] Stereogum's Peter Helman noted that the song is "a brash, slitheringly groovy thing with an insistent bassline and some string section flourishes courtesy of maestro Owen Pallett."[5]
Music video
A music video directed by Ben Chappell was released for the song on 10 January 2016, at the same day of the single's release. It shows the group performing, with short snippets of Turner and Kane recording, socializing and womanizing .[6]
