The song was written by Teddy and Bekuh Boom, who previously wrote "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du", while production was handled by them alongside R. Tee and 24. Its lyrics have been described as a "breakup anthem" [7] and the song itself has been described as a stomping, brassy electropop track with trap elements. [8] [9] The song contains "blaring horns and martial percussion", [10] with Rosé and Jisoo leading the "impassioned" pre-choruses about breaking up. [10] The song ends with an "imperial rallying cry to cut off the dead weight". [10]

Critical reception

"Kill This Love" received mixed reviews from music critics. Erica Russell from Paper gave a glowing review, ranking "Kill This Love" as the best song of 2019 and praised it as a "perfect" sonic blend of all the group members and an "explosive culmination" of the musical trends that dominated the past decade. [11] J.M.K from Billboard ranked it 25th on their list of the best K-pop songs of 2019, remarking that the group's "girl crush' concept never felt more visceral". [12] In another Billboard article, staff writer Andrew Unterberger placed the song 66th in the year's best songs and described the production as "practically biblical". [13] Yannik Gölz from Laut.de regarded the track as a "sensory overload" and felt that it "delivers everything you would want from Blackpink". He characterized it as "spectacular, cartoon-like and overdrawn trap-pop packed to the point of irritation", but also expressed a desire for a more suitable hook. [14]

Conversely, Michelle Kim from Pitchfork gave it an unfavorable review, describing the song's production as strangely out of date and suggesting it could have been produced in the early 2010s. She drew parallels between the song and Taylor Swift's 2015 single "Bad Blood", albeit without a "catchy Swiftian hook". [9] Rhian Daly from NME expressed disappointment with the track's production, labelling the chorus as uninspiring and a letdown following the song's initial buildup. [15] Nur Izzaty Shaifullizan from The Star made comparisons to the group's 2018 hit "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" and felt that it was hardly an improvement. [16]
