While flying home from America to the UK, Fender suffered a “widowmaker” heart attack at 40,000ft — beginning a long process of physical recovery and, perhaps more significantly, coming to terms with the psychological aftermath of suddenly finding himself confronted by his own mortality. “Bad Behaviour” is about what happened next. J. FENDER EXPLAINS: “The psychological impact of a heart attack, for me, was incredibly debilitating.

But I came to realise that anxiety and depression cannot hit a moving target. That’s really what ‘Bad Behaviour’ is about — making sure you keep pushing forward physically and mentally, not giving yourself chance to notice the Reaper’s silhouette standing behind you. Use momentum and a flash of occasional wildness as a means of resistance and survival.

” That sense of forward momentum runs directly through the music. “Bad Behaviour” is urgent, confrontational and alive; less a song about a heart attack than a song about refusing to allow one catastrophic moment to dictate everything that follows it.
