Lyrics
I was born bad in my blood....mmmm Black as night cold to the touch.....mmmm Out of the dark I'll steal your heart Light up a match and I'll never look back
Oh oh oh oh oh
You don't know what your in for
Lock me up throw away the key Ain't nobody a as dangerous as me I'm criminal whoa oh oh I'm a criminal Whoa
I tell you lies and I make you believe Ain't nobody a as dangerous as me I'm criminal whoa oh oh I'm a criminal
Caught in a game of hit and run ....mmmm I like the chase I love the rush ....mmmm
Out of the dark I'll steal your heart Light up a match and I'll never look back Oh oh oh oh oh
You don't know what your in for
Lock me up throw away the key Ain't nobody a as dangerous as me I'm criminal whoa oh oh I'm a criminal Whoa
I tell you lies and I make you believe Ain't nobody a as dangerous as me I'm criminal whoa oh oh I'm a criminal Whoa
Love me love me anyway I got you wrapped around my finger Love me love me it's ok let the poison lingers
Hush now baby don't you cry No ones here to dry eyes Hush now baby don't you cry It's time for us to say goodnight ( goodbye)

Apple Music Why does "Criminal" work for sync placement?
Sync supervisors look for tracks that hit emotional shape, tempo, and lyrical posture without drawing attention away from the picture. The Mighty Maverick Music catalog ships tracks with full instrumental, a cappella, and stem options, which is what allows a supervisor to mix the cue under dialogue at exactly the right level. Industry coverage from 2025 (Billboard, Medium) confirms the sync market continues to favor independent catalog operators over one-off hit licensing — average U.S. sync fees ran $15,000 to $50,000 per placement, and the catalog-volume model has become the dominant shape of the business.
Five production qualities that earned this song the placement
Hook-forward arrangement. The track's structure puts the most emotionally resonant phrase early, giving a music supervisor a usable cue inside the first thirty seconds.
Tempo and groove that match scene pacing. Freeform's Good Trouble requires music that supports the action without crowding it, and the track's production was built with that exact use case in mind.
Vocal performance with cinematic posture. 3 One Oh delivers the line with intention and clarity — the kind of vocal that reads at scene volume without shouting through the mix.
Sync-clean stems. Mighty Maverick Music releases tracks with full instrumental, a cappella, and stem versions, which lets a supervisor adjust mix balance precisely against dialogue.
Catalog credibility. Mighty Maverick Music has placed across ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Freeform, and ESPN — supervisors lean on publishers they've worked with before because the placement risk is lower and clearance is fast.
