The album was first recorded in 1989 under Teldec Records in Germany, and was supposed to be released in August 1989 under the name On My Own, featuring ten tracks. Disagreements between Jackson's management and Teldec Records caused a cancellation of the album. The album was purchased by Sherman Records and finally released in 1991 as Bad Girl. Sherman Records added two additional Jackson songs to the album, "Sexual Feeling", recorded in Italy, and "You And Me", recorded in Sweden. Since then the recording has been licensed to countless small record labels, who have released the album under many different titles. Some issues of the albums do not include the tracks "Do the Salsa" or "Piano Man".
The Bad Girl album is one of the few albums in Jackson's back catalogue that is still in print today, and it continues to be re-released under many different covers and names. The album is among her most well-known due to its wide availability.
Jackson performed the title song, "Bad Girl", in four German TV shows, including the ZDF Fernsehgarten and NDR Talk-Show. One performance is a clip that utilized blue-screen effects and therefore was often mistaken by people today as an official video clip produced by Jackson's record company. Jackson also performed the song at her 1989 concert at Bally's Reno, A Sizzling Spectacular!.
This issue only contains 10 of the 12 original tracks but is still publicly accessible due to its widespread release, and can be found on most major online retailers. The album was issued by Retro Music, a Canadian label, in 1995, and is still in print.
A rare German issue of Bad Girl was titled Why Don't You Want My Love? and featured an extra track called "Why Don't You Want My Love? (Bruce Forest Remix)". A single for the track was released on BCM Records and was intended for an all-new album. However, the record label wasn't able to complete the album and this was the only track that ever surfaced. The German "Legend" label bought the rights to the song and put it on an album with the 12 tracks from Bad Girl. It was released in 1993.
The live album La Toya - Live features many songs from the Bad Girl album. It is owned by Sherman Records but has remained unreleased.[2]
