"Withdrawals" is a song recorded by American country music artist Tyler Farr. It was released to radio on June 15, 2015 as the second single from his second studio album Suffer in Peace. The song, written by Josh Kear, Gordie Sampson and Hillary Lindsey, is about a man dealing with the fallout of a relationship like an addiction. "Withdrawals" had minor success compared to the previous single "A Guy Walks Into a Bar", peaking at numbers 47 and 52 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts respectively. The accompanying music video for the song, directed by Eric Welch, features Farr inside a glass box as he's being submerged into water as it fills up.

"Withdrawals" is a break-up song that deals with the fallout of a relationship like an addiction. While compiling the track list for Suffer in Peace, Farr came across the song in his inbox of potential tracks and chose it to be part of the album at the last minute. The demo's production, consisting only of a piano and drum loop, was what fascinated Farr because of its removal from his given genre, and that he wanted to record it into a country song as if done by the Foo Fighters. He also added that his vocal performance on the track adds believability to it and transcends it from a country song into a story.

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a positive review, saying that "Tyler Farr won’t be offended if you double-check the name on the car stereo when “Withdrawals” gets to the chorus. This massive vocal performance sounds nothing like the more mid-register songs Farr has released from his first two albums. All that stuff about classical training … yeah, here it is."

The music video was directed by Eric Welch and premiered in June 2015. The video opens with a profile close-up of Farr as the camera goes into his eye and shows Farr inside a glass box as it fills with water.
