Composition
"Bad Grrl" was written by Kåre Berrefjord, JE-Boy, Jake Conway, and Torje Grieg. Leah Amanda Shiller self-penned her rap verse. In an interview, JE-Boy described the song as the group "showing off their edgy side, really, as they're cartoonishly exaggerating the whole "bad girl" stereotype through a harsh-sounding song."

The track contains samples from "Bad Boys" by ; "Reckless Rivalry Combat" by, and Dave Storrs; and "People = Shit" by.

Kylie Davenport's line "Stop this!" at the end of the song segues into the track "Femme Fury" on For Sale or Lease, which introduced her metal side project of the same name.

Music video
The controversial music video for the song was directed by. Sammy Vue appears in a black outfit with devil horns, while the other members wear similar outfits without devil horns. The video featured mock Satanic imagery, along with brief flashes of satirical subliminal messages such as "What are you looking for the Devil for, when you oughtta be looking for the Lord?" (a quote from a backwards message on the album Never Say Die - band founder  received royalties from Second Beat Records for the use of the quote), "We forward the ultimate sound, and a message from Satan if you turn it around" (referencing the  song "Sucks"), and the self-deprecating line "Why have FanGirls gone edgy? Well, it's because Papa Kare wants to make money off controversies"
