"I Did Something Bad" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, taken from her sixth studio album, Reputation (2017). The song was written by Swift and its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. It features a heavy electronic production that combines electro-trap, grunge and EDM elements, incorporating manipulated vocals and electronic instruments. The lyrics are about Swift's lack of remorse after acknowledging her allegedly wrongful behaviors that caused a sensation, inspired by the female characters Sansa and Arya Stark of the fantasy series Game of Thrones.

Reputation is the sixth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on November 10, 2017, as her last album with Big Machine Records. She conceived Reputation as a response to the media scrutiny on her private life and public image after her previous album, 1989 (2014), propelled her toward global stardom.
The controversies that Swift experienced in 2015 and 2016 inspired Reputation.
Jack Antonoff co-produced six Reputation tracks; his recording sessions with Swift mostly took place at his Brooklyn home studio.
