Musically, "Demeanor" is a disco-pop [7] [8] [9] and electropop song. [10] The track features a rhythm guitar, [11] bassline, [12] drums, [13] funky groove, and bounce, accompanied by "woozy" vibes, and rhythmic verses. [14] [15] It contains a spliced-in verse from an unreleased Pop Smoke track called "Face2Face". [16] Writing for The Ringer , Micah Peters opined the song is about "popping Perc 30s and shooting people". [17] Mankaprr Conteh for Rolling Stone said Pop Smoke raps about "asserting a will not only to survive, but to thrive". [15]

On the song, Pop Smoke sings about his "baba treesha", which is Brooklyn slang for a promiscuous woman. [18] In connection with the slang, the rapper sings about how women like how he acts, and being heavily intoxicated. [18] The late rapper then raps about suffering through poverty: "Look, eleven dollars a hour ain't enough to live/So I'ma go in every store and I'ma swipe this shit/They tryna lock a nigga up and I'm like, 'Fuck a pig'/'Cause either way, mommy still gon' love her kid." [19] Lipa has her own verse, as she sings: "You can't say Pop without Smoke/So fill up your lungs, my diamonds'll make you choke/You like the way I move/My demeanor is meaner than yours/So clap for the encore", [14] [15] [20] [21] referring to Pop Smoke's line "You cannot say Pop and forget the Smoke" in his 2019 song "Gatti" with JackBoys and Travis Scott. [18]

Critical reception

David Crone of AllMusic said even though Lipa is "ostensibly at home on the slick grooves of 'Demeanor'", she "stumbles out" during the couplet: "You can't say Pop without Smoke/So fill up your lungs, my diamonds will make you choke", and described it as "excruciating". [22] Robin Murray from Clash stated the song "shows the potential Pop [Smoke] had to cross over", but called it one of the weaker tracks on the album. [23] For Exclaim! , Antoine-Samuel Mauffette Alavo viewed "Demeanor" as an "improbable duet" and thought Pop Smoke's fans will "undoubtedly be frustrated". [24] In HipHopDX , Anthony Malone called the song "jarring", and stated that at worst, "it sounds like a bad DJ Khaled crossover and at best, a summertime Calvin Harris record but never a Pop Smoke song by any stretch of the imagination". [16] Keith Nelson Jr. of Mic saw the song is a "clear attempt at expanding Pop [Smoke's] star beyond the streets and into the pop realm, but his dungeon dark vocals over drums soft enough to make Maroon 5 sound like Metallica garner mixed results". [13]

Kyann-Sian Williams, for NME , thought the track is "underdeveloped and slight, the singer's delivery disjointed". She opined that with a "few more tweaks, it might have been worth releasing". [25] Alphonse Pierre for Pitchfork described the track as the "most confusing record" on Faith. He mentioned the song has "a short Pop [Smoke] verse and rough hook [that] are laid over the type of bubbly production that could backdrop an episode of Gossip Girl ". Pierre concluded by saying it does not "work and feel out of line with Pop [Smoke's] music—he never had to sacrifice his drill sound or intensity to make a hit". [26] For Variety , A. D. Amorosi viewed the song as a "dud". [27] Thomas Stremfel of Spectrum Culture declared the song's "placement over a Future Nostalgia B-side topped off with Dua Lipa’s 'female alpha' persona makes for one of the worst Frankensteins of a song all year". [19] Mr. Wavvy for Cult MTL claimed "Demeanor" was "in fact quite the misdemeanor". He ruled that it is a "mess of a mashup, essentially throwing some sped up, unreleased lines from the rapper over an otherwise great Dua [Lipa] track". [28]

In a more positive review, Jordan Rose of Complex said Lipa "laces the song with brilliant vocals and a strong verse". [29] In Rolling Stone, Mosi Reeves called the song "sleazy" and said it is one of the album's more impressive tracks. [9] Peters said the song "goes down surprisingly smooth", [17] while Steve Juon for RapReviews was surprised by Lipa's appearance. [30] The Wall Street Journal 's Natalia Barr viewed the song as a "smoky club track". [12] Udit Mahalingan for The Line of Best Fit mentioned "Demeanor" seems "precursory to the retro-inflected sonic landscape of pop radio at present". [8] Preezy Brown of Vibe magazine perceived the track as an "addictive salvo". [31]

Accolades

Rolling Stone ranked "Demeanor" at number 45 on their "The 50 Best Songs of 2021" list. Mosi Reeves described the song as a "fun track that evokes the kind of mainstream superstardom [Pop Smoke] should have lived to enjoy". [11]

The music video for "Demeanor" is set in the 19th century. [49] Being inspired by Marie Antoinette and the Age of Enlightenment, [51] [52] Lipa wears a vintage corset-style lace-trimmed ballgown with a metallic bodice and ivory full skirt from Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 1998 couture collection, [51] [53] with drop earrings, emerald pendant necklace, and a Vram ring. [52] Lipa's outfit was created by Lorenzo Posocco. [54] The singer's hairstylist and global creative director of Color Wow Hair Chris Appleton decided to add two bows made of real hair on the crown of her head, [55] [56] while her makeup artist Mary Phillips gave her sultry lids and rose-colored lipstick. [51]

The visual begins with Lipa sitting at a dressing table, applying makeup as a lady whispers to her. [57] It then transitions to a large castle overlooking a red sunset and goes toward the window of a great hall, showing an expensive feast. [57] People wear powdered wigs, Rococo and Baroque petticoats, and ruffled sleeves and collars, with them being seen dancing, drinking, and feeding each other grapes.

[29] [50] [62] A young child looks at the deceased rapper in amazement. [7] The visual cuts to Lipa, who is seen descending a spiral staircase and cutting through the crowd of people. [58] [60] She takes part in the festivities, including performing several choreographed dance routines with different partners on the floor. [7] [57] [60] The singer then raises a glass with the guests to give a toast and all provide an encore. [57] As the visual comes to an end, the camera goes back to the painting as the music fades in as a concluding tribute to Pop Smoke. [49]

[56] Both Kelsey Stiegman of Seventeen and Rebecca Cope of Tatler noted Lipa was paying homage to the American television series Bridgerton . [55] [54] Maria Bobila of Nylon stated the singer channeled royalcore. [53] For Vulture , Justin Curto said Lipa stole the "show [by crashing] the party in a shimmering dress". [59] Sarah Kearns for Hypebeast noted the video has "high-production". [49] HipHopDX writer Michael Saponara opined the song "has been brought to life with a royal visual". [46] Erica Gonzales for Harper's Bazaar mentioned it as an "over-the-top visual". [65] W ranked Lipa's outfit as one of the best celebrity vintage fashion moments of 2021. [66]
