"Enough Is Enough" is a song by American rapper and singer Post Malone. It was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio through Republic and Mercury Records as the fourth and final single from his fifth studio album, Austin, on September 8, 2023. The song was produced by Malone himself, Louis Bell, Max Martin, and Rami Yacoub, and the four wrote it alongside Billy Walsh.

Composition and lyrics

"Enough Is Enough" is built over a guitar melody that Malone played himself and an electric piano melody with Jack Antonoff-inspired drums, in which he sings about his struggles with alcohol: "2 A.M., they ran out of lemonade / So I shot that vodka straight anyway".[1] The song is an introspective track that sees him showing remorse for drinking in the past.[2] Clayton Purdom of Rolling Stone described the chorus of the song to be "endearingly Toto-esque" and catchy.[3]
