Club Nouveau – Why You Treat Me So Bad? (Remix) (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

“Why You Treat Me So Bad?” is a 1987 single by Club Nouveau from their 1986 album Life, Love & Pain. The basic melodic hook of the song is taken from a hit by Club Nouveau member Jay King’s previous project as producer, Timex Social Club (namely, the song “Thinkin’ About Ya”).

The song has been sampled several times by other musicians. Hip-hop duo Luniz interpolated the music on their hit single “I Got 5 on It”; that song was then sampled by Sean ‘Puff Daddy’ Combs, on his hit single, “Satisfy You”; as well as “I Like It” by Mr. Capone-E and “I Know” by Yo Gotti. Singer Ashanti sampled the song for her hit single “Only U” and Jennifer Lopez on “I’m Gonna Be Alright”.

No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani cited the song for recording her solo debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby., after she listened to it while the band was on tour.

“Why You Treat Me So Bad?” reached #2 on the Billboard R&B Chart, #22 (Dance), and #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.
