“Tapping Out” is the lead single for Issues’ third studio album.
The song is about the last stage of a toxic relationship, where you’re just so worn out you can no longer fix it because the other person isn’t trying to change their hurtful behavior.
Tapping Out Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tyler Carter]
All this bullshit got me in a headlock
With the blame and the names that you call me
And when you know you're wrong, then you're sorry
Bitch, I had a long day, back up off me
You get to spitting all up in my face
'Bout to say some shit that we just can't erase
My heart is moving at a fast pace, hey, yeah
And now the gloves off, I'm against the ropes
I wanna break it off, but then I choke, ooh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Carter]
Someone call the referee
Take the pressure off of me
And now you're popping off with the low blows
(Tried to make it one last round, but)
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Suffocating, can I get out?
All this drama breaking me down (Down, down, down)
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Weight is getting heavy, ooh
Tried to make it one last round, but I'm tapping out now, oh
[Verse 2: Tyler Carter]
I thought we had a deal, we would start over
Put it all in the past, getting older
But you're taking all these shots at me, I warned ya
I'm tired of the pressure on my shoulders
And now the gloves off, I'm against the ropes
I wanna break it off, but then I choke, ooh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Carter]
Someone call the referee
Take the pressure off of me, yeah
And now you're popping off with the low blows
(Tried to make it one last round, but)
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Suffocating, can I get out?
All this drama breaking me down (Down, down, down)
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Weight is getting heavy, ooh
Tried to make it one last round, but I'm tapping out now
[Bridge: AJ Rebollo]
I trusted you, if only I could see
Wishing for your love was so foolish of me
Acting like you're somebody I don't know
And now you're somebody I don't know
Can you say you tried, truly?
I trusted you, how fucking foolish of me
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Suffocating, can I get out?
All this drama breaking me down (Down, down, down)
So I'm tapping out now, tapping out now
Weight is getting heavy, ooh
Tried to make it one last round, but I'm tapping out now, ooh

Boys, when you listen to “Tapping Out”, pay attention to/feel the lyrics. If you have a girlfriend or wife, chances are she is one million times stronger than you will ever be. If you aren’t putting her through shit, rest assured, another man has done so before...
What has Tyler Carter said about the song?

“Tapping Out” is out. And, it was funny because AJ had written the instrumental to that song separately. And I had written the top line to that song with Eric Ron and it was a hip-hop song. It was originally kind of something I was working on for my solo...

The song was most directly written about ‘tapping out’ of a relationship and its context plays to the theme of any type of fighting match. However, upon collaborating with director Dillon Novak, we felt that aiming the visual towards t...
