@uwuSakura It's like if someone really wants a boyfriend or girlfriend, or really wants to have sex. So much that they look desperate.
example:
"Did you see John talking to every girl at the party?"
"Yeah, he's down bad"

If you heard it in a song or in slang, it means that one person is in love with/attracted to another person sexually. They are “down” “badly” with love/attraction

@xyzprm An example of this would be: if a guy likes a girl who his friends think is very ugly, he would be down bad. It’s slang for being in a low state, if that makes sense to you.

This is slang, and it means “desperate.” Usually, it’s used to mean you’re really attracted to another person.
“I know she’s not good for me, but I’m down bad.”

It usually refers to feelings a of depression, loneliness, and desperation.
I’ve also heard it used to mean the feeling of being so attracted to someone that you almost feel depressed because you aren’t together with that person.
