"Blood, Sweat & Tears" is described by Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone as a midtempo song with an anthemic chorus.[7] The song's lyrics detail a relationship where each party is giving their all.[8] In the pop hook,[7] Max's vocals grow more urgent as she sings the lyrics, "I'mma give you all my blood, sweat, tears / And when it hurts I'm gonna stay right here". Writing for MTV News, Madeline Roth wrote that the chorus' lyrics detail a "messy relationship", which she compared to William Shakespeare's 1597 tragedy Romeo and Juliet.[9]
