It has a duration of three minutes, and is written in key of F-sharp major with a tempo of 120 beats per minute. [7] The song was described by Yang as a danceable hip-hop song with passionate performance from the members. [4] Jeff Benjamin of Billboard described the song as a "mighty K-pop jam" that incorporates dance pop, hip-hop, EDM and powerhouse pop styles.

Music video

Member Rora explained that the "Drip" music video features freestyle dancing and a relaxed vibe, with the members having fun rather than focusing on intense choreography. She said that while their previous song "Sheesh" was hardcore hip hop, "Drip" is a more easygoing and enjoyable style of hip hop, which reflects the YG-style. [9]
