Nasty (The Prodigy song)

Nasty is a song by the British electronic music group The Prodigy, released in 2015 as the lead single from their sixth studio album, The Day Is My Enemy. The track is characterized by its aggressive, high-energy sound, incorporating elements of breakbeat, electronic rock, and punk.

The song features a prominent, distorted synth riff and heavily processed drum beats, creating a raw and intense atmosphere. Lyrically, "Nasty" is sparse and repetitive, focusing on the word itself to convey a sense of rebellion and confrontational energy.

"Nasty" was accompanied by a music video directed by Paco Raterta, depicting a clash between animals, including a fox and a weasel, mirroring the track's aggressive sound. The song reached moderate chart success in several countries, including the United Kingdom. Critical reception was mixed, with some praising its intensity and energy, while others found it somewhat repetitive and lacking in depth compared to some of The Prodigy's earlier work. However, "Nasty" quickly became a staple of The Prodigy's live performances.
