Liputan6.com, Jakarta Lagu Bad Religion dari Frank Ocean mendadak kembali diperbincangkan. Padahal aslinya, lagu ini dimuat dalam albumnya yang bertajuk Channel Orange, dan rilis pada 2012 silam.
Dilansir dari Koreaboo, Kamis (17/8/2023), rupanya hal ini karena lagu tersebut dibagikan oleh RM BTS lewat Instagram Story. Tak ada tulisan apa pun yang disampaikan RM dalam unggahan ini.

Hanya aja, hal ini kembali memicu perdebatan lama soal lagu "Bad Religion" di media sosial.
Sebagian pihak menduga ada sentiman Islamofobia dalam lirik lagu ini. Ada pula yang memaknai bahwa ini adalah reaksi Frank Ocean terhadap bagaimana Islam memandang hubungan sejenis, dan berbagai interpretasi lain.
Lagu sendiri, memiliki narasi bahwa Frank Ocean bertemu dengan seorang sopir taksi, dan ingin curhat mengenai keresahan hatinya mengenai cinta tak berbalas.
Seperti apa lirik lagunya?
Lirik Lagu Bad Religion dari Frank Ocean
Taxi driver
Be my shrink for the hour
Leave the meter running
It's rush hour
So take the streets if you wanna
Just outrun the demons, could you?
He said "Allahu akbar"
I told him, "Don't curse me"
"Bo Bo, you need prayer"
I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees, it's a bad religion
Ooh, this unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make him love me
Never make him love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love
Taxi driver
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise
I can't trust no one
And you say "Allahu akbar"
I told him, "Don't curse me"
"Bo Bo, you need prayer"
I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees, it's a bad religion
Oh, unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make him love me
Never make him love me No, no, ahh
It's a, it's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Oh, oh, oh, only bad, only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do
