"Blood, Sweat & Tears" is a song by American singer Ava Max, released as a promotional single alongside "Freaking Me Out" on July 31, 2019, through Atlantic Records.
Leak History[]
- March 15, 2021 - A demo of the song is leaked.
- The Instrumental of the demo is different.
Background[]
The song was first previewed in an Instagram live sometime around December 3, 2018,[1] along with a snippet of "No Angel".
Song Meaning[]
Max previously stated that the song is about "giving all of yourself to someone you love and sticking by their side no matter what."
Trivia[]
- In the demo, Max sings "Think I'm gonna make it, don't know how to say it" Instead of "Throw my heart out on the pavement, cut it up and take it".
- It was allegedly planned to be the second official single from her debut album, but was instead scrapped in favor of "So Am I"[citation needed]. This makes sense as the first snippet was teased in December 2018.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Long nights with you
When the worst gets said
But it ends in bed and bad attitude
I overreact but you throw it back and
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it's so hard to understand
We both wanna stop it but we can't
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'mma give you all my blood, sweat, tears (ah-ooh!)
And when it hurts I'm gonna stay right here (ah-ooh!)
Throw my heart out on the pavement, cut it up and take it
I just wanna die with you
So baby you can take my blood, sweat, tears (ah-ooh!)
[Verse 2]
Don't go away, we can take a ride
We can take some time, yeah
Some people fade
And I don't know why I can't say goodbye, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it's so hard to understand
Oh, we both wanna stop it but we can't
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'mma give you all my blood, sweat, tears (ah-ooh!)
And when it hurts I'm gonna stay right here (ah-ooh!)
Throw my heart out on the pavement, cut it up and take it
I just wanna die with you
So baby you can take my blood, sweat, tears (ah-ooh!)
[Hook]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Yeah, I'mma give you all my blood, sweat, tears, ohh
[Chorus]
Yeah, Imma give you all my blood, sweat, tears (ah-ooh!)
And when it hurts I'm gonna stay right here (ah-ooh!)
Throw my heart out on the pavement, cut it up and take it
I just wanna die with you
So baby you can take my blood, sweat, tears (ah-ooh!)
