"Mood Swings" is a song by American rapper Pop Smoke featuring fellow American rapper Lil Tjay, from the former's posthumous debut studio album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon (2020). The song was written by the artists alongside producers Beat Menace and Dizzy Banko with additional production from Kiwi. The song was released as the third single from the album on August 21, 2020, by Victor Victor Worldwide and Republic Records. A remix that features Summer Walker was released as a single and an extended play (EP) was released for the song.

"Mood Swings" is a R&B song with lyrics about having sex with women off their birth control. The single received mixed reviews—some reviewers criticized Lil Tjay's lyrics, while others considered the song to be tender and corny. It peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 on the UK Singles Chart, giving Lil Tjay his first and Pop Smoke his second top 10 hit in the United Kingdom. Internationally, the song has peaked within the top five of three other countries, including Portugal, where it peaked at number one. The song received a double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which denotes track-equivalent sales of over two million units.
