"Low Blows" is a song recorded by Australian singer Meg Mac. The song was released on 31 March 2017 as the lead single from Mac's debut studio album of the same name.[2] The song was certified platinum in Australia in 2019.
The song was voted in at number 30 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2017.
Upon release of the album, Mac told V Magazine she wrote the song in her room in Melbourne, saying "I didn't plan on 'Low Blows' being the [lead] single, but whenever people listened to it they thought that it should be. 'Low Blows' is really about looking back and knowing that things would be different if I stood up for myself. It's almost a little bit sad watching yourself and how things could be different."[3]
