Fourth Strike Lyrics
[Intro]
Only you, only you ca-calling
Only you, only you ca-call
Only you, only you ca-calling
On my fourth strike, on my, on my fourth strike
[Verse 1]
Oh, baby, you can't stay mad at me (Uh-huh)
This body is my apology (Uh-huh)
Don't pay for the consequence
When you look like this, when you look like this
One touch, baby, do you like this?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bang, bang, kiss, kiss
Bang, bang, kiss, kiss
[Chorus]
Turn you on like a light (Like a light)
Then you miss me like a flight (Like a flight)
Messed up three times, it's alright (It's alright)
I'm on my fourth strike
It ain't over, that's a lie (That's a lie)
It ain't over 'til we die ('Til we die)
Messed up three times, it's alright (It's alright)
I'm on my fourth strike
[Post-Chorus]
Only you, only you ca-calling
If only you, only you, 'til we die and—
If only you, only you ca-calling
On my fourth strike, on my, on my fourth strike
[Verse 2]
Don't say you want me, baby, show me
'Cause I don't let anybody know me
For you, I'm softer than a feather
I'll be your diamond girl forever
[Chorus]
Turn you on like a light (Like a light)
Then you miss me like a flight (Like a flight)
Messed up three times, it's alright (It's alright)
I'm on my fourth strike
[Post-Chorus]
Only you, only you ca-calling
If only you, only you, 'til we die and—
If only you, only you ca-calling
On my fourth strike, on my, on my fourth strike
[Bridge]
One strike, two strike, let me get the mood right
I just wanna tell you, "I'm sorry"
Touch me, baby, tell me I'm your baby
Write your name all over my body
Cross the line, I might do it again (Oh)
Do it on purpose just to see how it ends
King Kylie
[Chorus]
Turn you on like a light (Like a light)
Then you miss me like a flight (Like a flight)
Messed up three times, it's alright (It's alright)
I'm on my fourth strike
It ain't over, that's a lie (That's a lie)
It ain't over 'til we die ('Til we die)
Messed up three times, it's alright (It's alright)
I'm on my fourth strike
[Post-Chorus]
Only you, only you ca-calling
If only you, only you, 'til we die and—
If only you, only you ca-calling
On my fourth strike, on my, on my fourth strike

Fourth Strike Song Meaning (Terror Jr & King Kylie)
“Fourth Strike” lands like a sultry, shimmering confession — part apology, part seduction, all heart on the edge. Backed by Terror Jr’s sleek pop production with KSHMR’s polish, the track weaves a narrative of repeated mistakes turned ritual: “messed up three times, it’s alright / I’m on my fourth strike.” It’s a song about craving redemption in a cycle that keeps you coming back.
Emotional Core & Lyrical Portrait
From the opening lines, the speaker acknowledges the tension between regret and desire: “Oh, baby, you can't stay mad at me / This body is my apology.” The body becomes both instrument of atonement and source of mending — a gesture rather than a grand gesture. The chorus frames this repetition with fatalism and hope: yes, they’ve failed before, but “it ain’t over ’til we die.” The “fourth strike” isn’t just a last chance; it’s the moment they choose to risk it again, to lean in rather than let go.
When Kylie Jenner’s King Kylie persona enters in the bridge, there’s a shift in tone: more intimate, more direct. Her lines — “Touch me, baby, tell me I’m your baby / Write your name all over my body” — read like reclamation, owning the dynamic. She even teases the fragility: “Cross the line, I might do it again … Do it on purpose just to see how it ends.” It’s a bold admission that she’s complicit in the cycle, not just a victim of it.
Behind the Scenes: The Real Story
“Fourth Strike” is more than a single — it’s a calculated revival. Kylie Jenner’s involvement responds to long-standing fan speculation that she secretly sang the 2016 Terror Jr track “3 Strikes.” In her own words on Instagram, she admitted:
“There was a little rumor 10 years ago that I was the one actually singing on ‘3 Strikes’ … it wasn’t me … so I had the idea to come together for ‘Fourth Strike’ and it would actually be me featured.”
Her King Kylie identity — once an online-era aesthetic — makes a full-circle return in this track, serving as both a marketing hook and a creative rebirth. The collaboration also ties into Kylie Cosmetics’ 10th anniversary and a reissued “King Kylie” collection, reinforcing the synergy between her persona and her brand.
Terror Jr itself, formed in 2016 by Lisa Vitale and Campa (formerly with Felix Snow), has always traded in mystique and atmospheric pop. The group’s earlier ambiguity around Kylie’s voice now gives way to an explicit partnership — moving from speculation to realization.
Why It Resonates
At its best, “Fourth Strike” speaks to that desperate hope in flawed love cycles — the urge to try again, to make it right, even when the odds are stacked. It flutters between strength and surrender: seductive on the surface, haunted underneath. For listeners, it taps into that familiar tension — knowing you shouldn’t stay, yet finding it nearly impossible to leave.
For the artists, it functions on two levels: as a reintroduction for Kylie’s musical identity, and as a creative extension for Terror Jr’s narrative. It’s a strategic risk, steeped in nostalgia, but carrying enough emotional weight to feel genuine.
In the end, “Fourth Strike” doesn’t offer clear closure — and that’s exactly its point. It lingers in the gray area where apology, desire, and consequence bleed into one another — and we’re left wondering if the next strike will be the last, or the one that finally lands.
