Hear Seventeen, Pharrell Williams Team Up for ‘Bad Influence’

Seventeen joined forces with Pharrell Williams for “Bad Influence,” an upbeat track that premiered during the Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway show in Paris. Williams wrote and produced the song, which was performed by Seventeen members S.Coups, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino.

“We are happy and honored to collaborate with Pharrell Williams, whom we have deeply admired for a long time,” the band members said in a statement. “We truly enjoyed the creative process which showcases a new side of ourselves. We hope to connect with more listeners worldwide through this collaboration.”

Williams serves as the French fashion house’s creative director for menswear. He presented the dramatic show yesterday with a soundtrack of several songs he produced, including “Bad Influence,” Don Toliver and J-Hope’s “LV Bag,” and the Weeknd ft. Playboi Carti’s “Timeless.”

Last year, Seventeen released 17 Is Right Here, a 21-track greatest hits record featuring highlights from throughout their discography and new material. The double-sided album includes popular releases “Maestro,” “Super,” “HOT,” “Rock With You,” and more. They followed it with a mini album, Spill the Feels, in October, which included single “Love, Money, Fame” featuring DJ Khaled. 

Williams recently released his animated Lego biopic, Piece by Piece, which was directed by filmmaker Morgan Neville. The title track, written by Williams, has been shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Original Song (the nominations will be announced on Jan. 23).

“What we made is not like any other movie,” Williams told Variety when the film’s trailer debuted last year. “I don’t know what a comp for it would be. People can try and label it. It’s just its own film. It’s mind-blowing, in a way, the freedom that we were able to put together in the film, but that only works if you’re channeling your subject.”
