Written by the artists alongside producer DJ Mustard, "Paranoid" is a hip hop song that lyrically describes being in fear of getting caught cheating.

An accompanying music video premiered through Revolt and YouTube on October 22, 2013 that features both Ty and B.o.B being tortured by their girlfriends.

The song was originally recorded by Ty Dolla Sign and his frequent collaborator Joe Moses, and it was included on DJ Mustard's Ketchup mixtape.

"[18] Christopher Weingarten of Rolling Stone said, it features "frank lines delivered with Casanova charm and a thin layer of computer love.

"[19] Matt Aceto of HotNewHipHop called it one of the better songs on the tape, giving credit to the chorus and Joe Moses' verse.
