Here are the full lyrics for Tate McRae's "Tit For Tat":
(Chorus) Thought I might love you again, I'll see how I feel Now that you're acting like that, boy, I never will Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal Right now, I'm not even about you Thought I might love you again, see how I feel Now that you're acting like that, I never will Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal Right now, I'm not even about you
(Verse 1) The day I met you, boy, I thought it was a blessing In the heat of it, I always took your side It's a shame you out here tryna make it messy Wow, you're messy, damn We were good, I thought we made it through the ending I was hearing sh*t I never thought you'd say Could have picked it up exactly where we left it Took our future off your plate
(Pre-Chorus) Let's go song for song, let's go back to back Let's go tit for tat, boy, you asked for that That's the best you got, where's the good one at? I was never as far away as you thought
(Chorus) Thought I might love you again, I'll see how I feel Now that you're acting like that, boy, I never will Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal Right now, I'm not even about you Thought I might love you again, see how I feel Now that you're acting like that, I never will Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal Right now, I'm not even about you
(Verse 2) I was nothing but respectful, and you know that Why you changing up the narrative to write? I can't do this You're making me do this If you want to fight
(Pre-Chorus) Let's go song for song, let's go back to back Fix your f**king self, kiss my ass for that That's the best you got, where's the good one at? Should've known you'd be the type to change
(Chorus)
Thought I might love you again, I'll see how I feel
Context and Article Summary
The song has generated a lot of discussion, with most articles highlighting the following points:
The Theme of Retaliation: The title "Tit For Tat" itself means a retaliation in kind. The lyrics are about the breakdown of a relationship and the decision to fire back at a former partner who has started a public conflict.
Response to an Ex: The lyrics are widely believed to be Tate McRae's response to her ex-boyfriend, The Kid LAROI.
Musical Feud: Fans and media speculate this is a direct musical exchange ("Let's go song for song, let's go back to back") after The Kid LAROI allegedly referenced their breakup and tried to "fix" her in one of his songs. McRae's line "Fix your f**king self, kiss my ass for that" is seen as a clear rebuttal.
Key Lyrical References: Lines like "Last night, she answered my call, it sealed the deal" and "Right now, I'm not even about you" are interpreted as her moving past the relationship and alluding to him moving on with someone new.
