Composition
"La Di Da" is a retro-inspired uptempo electropop song that combines various elements from the '80s, such as cheerleader chants and strong synthesizers.[6] The lyrics have a strong sense of self-empowerment and sends a humbling message to the "bad guys" and the "players" (haters).[7] The song was composed in the E♭ minor key with a tempo of 160 beats per minute.[8]
