"Revenge" (also known by its first name Garrett's Revenge) is the first single off of American rapper XXXTentacion's first studio album 17. The song was released on May 18, 2017.

The song was able to make it to #7 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.[1][2] It was also certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and by IFPI Greece.[3][4]

After X wrote the song, he dedicated it to the memory of Jocelyn Flores, one of his friends who commited suicide while visiting him. The cover art of the song is believed to be the suicide note written by Flores. The original name of the song was a reference to X's friend and merchandise manager Garette.[5]
