"Get It Sexyy" opens with an "undeniably hooky boast" before the rapper adds "layers of charmingly delivered background vocals" to boost the song's "immediacy". [3] The "snap beat-inspired" [4] track also features a "heavy, churning beat" by producer and long-time collaborator Tay Keith, who previously worked on her 2023 break-out hits "Pound Town" and "SkeeYee". [5] The collaboration was seen as a "natural fit" as a blend between Keith's "loud and aggressive beats" and the "ratchetness" as well as the "sexually confident energy" of the rapper.
