"Fight The Feeling" is a jam about a girl dealing with some deep emotional turmoil. Rod Wave sings with empathy about this heartbroken woman who won't admit she's hurting. The girl is in the club dancing, trying to pretend like she's okay, but Wave can see past the makeup, the look, and the attitude - he knows what it's like to hide your feelings 'cause he's been there. The singer has been through some real stuff, so he knows what's up. You can't keep patching up your pain taking shots at the bar Know exactly how you feel, I know what's in your heart As the track progresses, Rod Wave spills more tea on this girl's life. She's a mom, and the dude she split with is probably the baby's daddy. Her heart still broken but she's in denial She need her grandmama to watch her child Her make-up covers up her broken smile You're livin' on lies, hurtin' insid? but she's outside The song concludes with Wave understanding why she tries to mask her pain. He doesn't blame her, and he wishes her a peace that outlasts her short-lived cover-up. Tryna fight the feeling, but she never finished healing. Now you in the middle of the club, trying not to cry to a love song Aldaz, ThatBossEvan, Amineskrrt, and beatsbytrain's production blends mellow guitar and piano melodies with rolling percussion. ThatBossEvan previously co-produced Rod Wave's Beautiful Mind tracks "Cold December" and "Better." The accompanying music video adds a layer of depth to the song's message. We see Wave performing in a club, where the woman in the story dances the night away with her friends.

Look, oh, woah
Uh, okay

Women, how'd you get so good at hiding your feelings?
Pretending, pretending you're fine when really you're bending
You can't keep patching up your pain taking shots at the bar
Know exactly how you feel, I know what's in your heart
Young nigga came a long way with so many scars
Finally found a brighter day from being lost in the dark
But she don't wanna hear that tonight (oh no)
Play something that's feeling right (oh no)
She tryna get lit tonight (oh no)
Get lost in the city lights (oh no)
Her heart still broken but she's in denial
She need her grandmama to watch her child
Her make-up covers up her broken smile
You're livin' on lies, hurtin' inside but she's outside

So get your hair did, put your clothes on
Tell the DJ to play your song (play your song)
Tryna fight the feeling, but she never finished healing
Now you in the middle of the club, tryin' not to cry to a love song
In the middle of the club, tryin' not to cry to a love song, woah
To a love song, woah, to a love song
Now you in the middle of the club, tryin' not to cry to a love song
To a love song (to a love song)
Uh, to a love song (to a love song)
Now you in the middle of the club, tryin' not to cry to a love song
To a love song (to a love song, oh)
To a love song (to a love song)
Ayy, yeah
Ayy, yeah
Oh
