Composition
The song is three minutes and twenty-seven seconds long, and was written by Joao De Leon and Andreanna Therese Pantig[a], with production by the former.[1] It is a pop-rock track that is characterized by its bright, punchy emotionality while maintaining a playful tone that differentiates it from standard heartbreak anthems. It features a straightforward chord progression reminiscent of Filipino alternative rock classics such as Moonstar88's "Migraine" and Kitchie Nadal's "Huwag na Huwag Mong Sasabihin".[2]
