Bad Cinderella is the first single from the forthcoming Cinderella album. The album features cast from the highly anticipated new theatre production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella, which was originally meant to have opened in October 2020, along with appearances from some surprise guest vocalists.

Andrew said, “50 years ago I couldn’t get Jesus Christ Superstar on stage as nobody wanted to produce it, so it appeared on record first. It’s so strange to find history repeating itself half a century later with the album of the complete score of my new Cinderella. I can’t get Cinderella on stage because I’m not allowed to, so I have gone back to my roots and recorded the album first.”

Recording for began in March 2020 and continued through lockdown with Andrew recording artists remotely and producing the majority of the score from his home. Once it was feasible, the recording process proceeded via socially distanced studio sessions in London.
