“I Did It Again” is one of the most raw and vulnerable tracks on Tasha Cobbs Leonard‘s 2025 studio album, TASHA. The song serves as an unvarnished confession, giving voice to the universal struggle of the believer who repeatedly succumbs to a familiar sin or bad habit despite knowing the better path.
The lyrics are intensely personal and transparent, immediately grabbing the listener with the admission of failure:
> “Oh no, I know I did it again. Tried to walk away, but my hands were tied. Another bad decision. But if I’m honest, it was all a lie.”
>
The song explores the internal conflict of human weakness, where the temptation “feels so right” even when the conscience knows it’s the “wrong time, Your will or mine.” It is a moment of deep, painful realization as the narrator finds themselves “at the altar again (Again) / Same tears, same fear, same shame and sin.”
Musically, “I Did It Again” employs a contemporary R&B/Gospel production style. The beat is propulsive yet laid-back, allowing the honesty of the lyrics and Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s passionate, slightly rasping vocal delivery to be the main focus. The song ultimately pivots on the knowledge that God is the “God of another chance,” concluding with a determined resolution to choose better next time—a powerful message of hope and the unending mercy that follows every spiritual relapse.
