Lansky opined that the song is a "brilliant pastiche" of many different dance-pop genres, being a mixture of "frosty house, buzzing chopped 'n' screwed electro, grimy dubstep, and glitchy progressive house" mixed in with Simons' "husky vocals". He added that she serves up a "chilling falsetto" during the chorus. The writer concluded that overall the song feels as though the listener is in "five different nightclubs at once" with all the elements to secure a "big dance hit".
