A Miami bass, UK garage, and hip-hop influenced pop and R&B song, Carpenter wrote it with songwriters Julia Michaels and Amy Allen and its producers, John Ryan and Julian Bunetta.
[12] Billboard's Jason Lipshutz thought the song "coats that post-breakup coldness in the buttery sounds of '90s R&B, with Carpenter channeling the rhythmic pop style that artists like Mariah Carey and TLC handled so masterfully and putting her tongue-in-cheek spin on its warm textures.".
[16] Jaeden Pinder of Pitchfork described it as "a twinkly Miami bass-influenced" song, on which Carpenter channels Ariana Grande's 2016 album Dangerous Woman with her "whispery vocal runs" and NewJeans's EP Get Up while chanting "I won't give a fuck about you".
Carpenter stresses that her affectionate actions should not be seen as naive: "When I love you, I'm sweet like an angel / Drawing hearts around our names and dreaming of writing vows, rocking cradles / But don't confuse my kindness for naivety."
[17] Lipshutz ranked it ninth among the twelve album tracks, praising the 1990s and R&B influences on the song and opining that Carpenter put "her tongue-in-cheek spin on its warm textures".
[21] Commenting on Carpenter's performance, Sputnikmusic's Sowing believed she displayed "superb vocals" and praised the delivery of the line: "I don't waste a second, I know lots of guys / You do somethin' suspect, this cute ass bye-bye".
[22] Ims Taylor of Clash thought "her delicate delivery over an R&B-esque beat feels less assertive, more almost panicked and protective, ready to run away at the first sign of danger".
