Composition

An album track of three minutes and forty-eight seconds, is a midtempo, electropop song with R&B influences. A sample of "Je M'appelle Jane" by Jane Birkin runs throughout the song. The song is built around a distinctive bhangra-ish guitar riff and has a "spunky attitude". The song features resourceful vocals from Scherzinger. According to Maura of Idolator wrote that the song is a reminiscent of Whitney Houston's song "I'm Your Baby Tonight" (1990).

The song features three verses from Missy Elliott, who joins the Dolls for a "boy-baiting session". She uses brash rap and risqué lyrics in lines such as, "You ain't gonna get no more pussy... cat". In her lines, she references Katy Perry and her song "I Kissed a Girl" teasing, "Up in that club it's just me and my girls, play like Katy Perry kissing on girls." Samesame.com.au noted that Elliott's rapping is coherent with the Dolls’ signature style". Lyrically, the song is about a woman getting rid of her no-good-controlling-waste-of-space lover, while Jon Pareles of New York Times wrote that the song "proposes that her man stay home while she goes club hopping". Nicole Scherzinger said that Missy Elliott " the Pussycat Dolls to a whole other level."

Famous quotes containing the word composition:

    It is my PRIDE, my damn’d, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19-20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such;Mor DIE—perplexing alternative!
    Thomas Chatterton (1752–1770)

    Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.
    Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)

    When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
