comment
A subtrope of the "I Am" Song, in which a female character establishes her character... and her character is all about living freely, especially sexually. How explicitly that sexuality is addressed mostly depends on how old the musical is.
In musicals, usually sung by the secondary female character (soubrette). She might be anything from a prostitute to a Good Bad Girl. Not to be confused with a Villain Song by a female villain, though the two may overlap if she's The Vamp.
See also Intercourse with You, where a song is about sleeping with someone. This may double as a Seduction Lyric, if the Bad Girl is currently engaged in exerting her badness on a potential partner; her line may well be "I'm good at being bad and you'll enjoy it".

A lot of Marina Diamandis's songs, particularly from the concept album Electra Heart, but Bubblegum Bitch and Homewrecker deserve special mention.

"Let Me Be Good To You" from The Great Mouse Detective. Miss Kitty is brought on by the Rat Trap's pianist to calm the crowd with her song "Let Me Be Good to You" when they prepare to riot. She starts off by singing softly, calming them, and even Dawson is attracted to her act. Miss Kitty's song rapidly degenerates into a burlesque act with backup dancers while patrons grab fruitlessly at her.

Chicago:
"When You're Good To Mama", though the subject is a little older than most examples. It establishes Mama Morton as the dirty prison warden, and the film version shows her taking all sorts of bribes. The number is shot and framed in a very sexual way.
"The Cell Block Tango" is this and a Villain Song, since Velma is a Villain Protagonist. Each of the inmates get a solo detailing what they did to their lyr to get into prison, reiterating that "he had it coming". They perform the number in Stripperiffic costumes and suggestive dance moves.

Torrie Wilson replaced her "I Need A Little Time" theme - which was a smooth ballad - with "Not Enough For Me", sung from the perspective of The Tease. The theme would eventually become this for Michelle McCool and later Layla.

Subverted in All Dogs Go to Heaven 2. During the talent contest, Sasha la Fleur is introduced with howling and whistling from the male dogs in the audience. She then proceeds to sing a song about how she's not interested in a relationship, appropriately called "Count Me Out". Despite this, Charlie is immediately taken to her.

Six: The Musical has two.
First, "Don't Lose Ur Head" for Anne Boleyn, in which she playfully and proudly boasts about her beauty, and her affair (and eventually marriage) to Henry. Her flirtatiousness and hot temper eventually lead to her execution, but she still seems to think it was Worth It.
Then we get "All You Wanna Do" for Katherine Howard, and it's a complete deconstruction. Katherine starts out enjoying her flings, completely oblivious to how bad it is that adult men are willing to sleep with her when she's thirteen. She genuinely believes each of the men love her, and that "this guy is different," only to be proven wrong. By the end, she's utterly broken by the realization that men just see her a sex object, not a real person, especially when she realizes that Thomas, who she thought of as a best friend, was only trying to get in her pants.

Villain song from The Little Mermaid (1989) "Poor Unfortunate Souls" is somewhat of a play on this. While mostly a song of a villain pretending to be good, her side comments to her eel henchmen show Ursula's real colors - bad, and lovin' it.
