Composition
In a 2005 interview with News Times, Duff said that the song is "obviously about a boy and a girl's relationship and it's just talking about how somebody thinks they're in the dark." "She's tired of it and he's tired of it and they're coming clean, whether it means they're gonna be together or not. They're laying all the cards out on the table and coming out with everything that hasn't been said basically.", she said. Duff cited the song as her favorite on Metamorphosis, saying it is "a little more mellow" than her previous single, "So Yesterday", "but it's not really pop. It sounds sort of like techno, but it's slow. It's really cool."
Musically, "Come Clean" is a moderately fast song in a tempo of 120 beats per minute. Written in the key of B Major, it features the sequence of G#mj7—E2—G#mj7 as its chord progression. Duff's vocals span from the note of F#3 to the note of B4.
