Dawn's Attrell Cordes, features backing vocals by Cathy Dennis and samples "Father Figure" by George Michael.

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Rap duo is positioned to sail up the charts with a silky pop/hip-hop ditty that derives inspiration from samples of George Michael's "Father Figure".

"[2] Alan Jones from Music Week described it as "a gently mournful rap", underscored by the instrumental from Michael's song.

[5] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update called it a "lushly swirled pop swayer".

[6] Charles Aaron from Spin wrote, "'I'd Die Without You' was a sop to the mainstream, i.e. it kind of made sense, but this is the "real" shit—George Michael bite and Prince Be's comforting gibberish.
