With a runtime of three minutes and 11 seconds, [12] the song is composed in the key of F-sharp major and carries an average tempo of 125 bpm. [13] The song is characterized by an "addictive melody and bassline" in its chorus. [14] [15] Lyrically, the song sends "a message to everyone to let go of their worries and live in the now as you are only young once". [16] In an interview with the Inquirer, Vinci described the song as a "summery track that you can listen to while on a road trip or having a party". [17]
