"Sugarcoat" was written by Delacey, Sizzy Rocket, ADP, Brittany Mullen, Jaira Burns and produced by the latter three.

[5] The song begins with the lines "Are you proud of this since you ruined it?/ I'm so fucking tired of you/ So emotionless, something I can't fix/ And I'm just way too good for you" sung by Burns.
