Composition
The song is a pop ballad which contains breezy, tropical, and balearic beats. According to Newsday's Glenn Gomboa, the song is a "mix of an old-school pop duet and of-the-moment, Latin-tinged production". Dan Weiss of Spin described it as "the Afro-futurist 'Sexual Healing'". Jeff Benjamin of Fuse found the melody was reminiscent of Nick Jonas's "Jealous". Thematically, Derulo said the song is "about the prospect of meeting somebody new. You might be the person I've been looking for. Try me."
Critical reception
Sam C. Mac of Slant Magazine's deemed it "an ebullient pop ballad that bests Talk Dirty standout 'Trumpets' ". Vibe's Marjua Estevez wrote the song "could potentially be summer's bae anthem" and called it "a perfect tune for drop-top weather", while also commending the harmony of both singers. Jeff Benjamin of Fuse wrote: "Vocally, the best moments in the track come when the singers' high and low notes are layered, serving the listener some wonderfully sensual harmonies."
Music video
The song's accompanying music video was planned to be released, however, Derulo has confirmed that was made: "It's in the concept; the guys have to be really strong. You will understand when you actually see [the video]. It's a competition of some sort."
