Christopher Lund Nissen (born 31 January 1992) is a Danish singer from Copenhagen. He was born in Frederiksberg, but later moved to Amager, Denmark with his parents and little brother Oliver.
Christopher started singing covers of other singers' songs. His debut single was "Against the Odds", co-written by Kay & Ndustry, Kasper Larsen, Ole Brodersen, Curtis Richa and Johan Wetterberg, and produced by Kay & Ndustry and GL Music's Lasse Lindorff. It was released in September 2011, reaching number 23 on the Danish Singles Chart. The accompanying music video is directed by Nicolas Tobias Følsgaard and Jonas Lodahl Andersen. His follow-up single "Nothing in Common" entered the Danish Singles Chart at number 5 in 2012. His debut album Colours was released in 2013. "CPH Girls" was Christopher's 1st single number one in Denmark. Christopher's third studio album Closer came out on 15 April 2016. It includes his earlier hit "Tulips" that came out in Denmark, Norway and China, "I Won't Let You Down" featuring Bekuh Boom becoming his second number 1 in Denmark and the track "Limousine" with the artist Madcon. Christopher gets his inspiration for Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and John Mayer.
Kim Chung-ha (Korean: 김청하; born Kim Chan-mi [김찬미]; February 9, 1996), better known mononymously as Chungha (stylized as CHUNG HA), is a South Korean singer, dancer and choreographer. She finished fourth in Mnet's girl group survival show Produce 101, becoming a member of the resulting girl group I.O.I. Following the dissolution of I.O.I in 2017, Chungha debuted as a solo artist. Chungha was born as Kim Chan-mi (김찬미) on February 9, 1996, in Seoul, South Korea. Under her English name Annie Kim, she lived in Dallas, Texas, for eight years before returning to South Korea to become a singer. As a result, she is able to speak both English and Korean. She graduated from Sejong University, majoring in dance. She auditioned for YG Entertainment and was a JYP Entertainment trainee prior to joining MNH Entertainment. Kim trained for three years before debuting, and had been dancing for 6–7 years. She revealed that she almost quit attending dance classes at some point due to financial issues.
The artists' first collaboration work was originally planned to showcase during Christopher's concert in Korea this year, which was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Christopher, known for his love for Korea and K-pop, brought up the idea of working with a K-pop star. MNH Entertainment said that Warner Music Korea offered Chungha the idea, and she gladly accepted it because she had been a fan of Christopher's music. "Bad Boy" was written by Park Sung-jin, Kim Jae-woong, Park Ki-hyun and Anna Timgren. It runs for three minutes and three seconds. The upbeat track talks about a man who would want to be a "bad boy" to win her back ― is woven through with the artists' smooth vocals.
