[3] Blackpink's vocals were recorded at The Black Label in Seoul, South Korea, while the track's production was handled by VVN, Kush, R.Tee and Ido.
[5][6][7] Described as new wave-esque by AllMusic,[8] the song is a retro synths-driven track with a jagged, minimalist guitar riff and a bouncy, soaring dance breakdown in the chorus.
[9] Many critics compared its "light but upbeat" sound to the group's songs "Lovesick Girls", "Playing with Fire" and "Forever Young".
[6][12] Tanu I. Raj from NME called the song "a neat callback to 2020's "Lovesick Girls", with a "smooth" and "easy" synth-pop sound.
[7] In Sputnikmusic, Raul Stanciu described it as the lightest track on Born Pink, while "dropping their usual shtick, aiming on delivering a lush love song instead".
[13] Jeff Benjamin from Billboard compared it as "the brighter follow-up" to the group's 2016 single "Playing with Fire", with an "undeniable dance breakdown in the chorus".
[9] Pitchfork's Alex Ramos stated that it represents the album's "first splash of soft and vulnerable" side of the group's "pink" part.
