  ## Background
  
  At the beginning of 2013, there were major rumors claiming Blood on the Dance Floor had split when they withdrew from the Soundwave Festival. However, it turned out to be a hoax. Vanity completely denied all rumors of Blood on the Dance Floor disestablishing. In 2020, the 10th track of this album titled "Something Grimm" was brought up as plagiarism of the 2006 track "The Last Night" by Christian alternative rock band Skillet on the album Comatose.
  
  The group released Bad Blood on September 3, 2013. On February 18, 2013, the lead single "I Refuse to Sink! (Fuck the Fame)" was released, followed by the second single "Crucified By Your Lies", followed by the third single, "Something Grimm", on July 2, 2013.
