On "TOXIC," featuring Dutch Melrose, Chri$tian Gate$ gets transparent about the red flags in his relationship. As he couples vulnerable lyricism with an alternative rock/pop beat, Chri$tian Gate$ attempts to split up with his partner. Although he doesn't want to break their heart, he knows it's for the best, given that they don't have the most healthy relationship. The nature of their romance is revealed in lyrics like "I'm secretly praying for the worst/With the best intentions/'Cause I know how bad this is gonna hurt."

Deeper in the song, Dutch Melrose takes responsibility for his actions, explaining how he avoids getting too close to his significant other. The musician then expresses that because he's accustomed to being a certain way, they shouldn't stay together. "I keep on promising to change and I don't wanna be a liar," he delivers. "But I'm sick of being toxic (yeah)/I don't wanna hurt you now."

The song ends with Chri$tian Gate$ and Dutch Melrose admitting to being unhappy with the person that they once fell for. Regardless of how they once fell for their sweethearts, they don't believe it's enough to salvage the connection.
