Fellow No Doubt member Gabrial McNair and Gwen's brother Eric Stefani, amongst other performers, provide instrumentation. A departure from Gwen Stefani's previous country and holiday music releases, "Let Me Reintroduce Myself" is an energetic Latin-sounding reggae, ska, and pop track inspired by her early work with No Doubt. The upbeat and playful song refers to Stefani's career in the music industry, per the suggestion of Golan. Most critics gave the song positive reviews, calling it catchy and making favorable comparisons to No Doubt's releases.
