"Quiz" was produced by Turreekk. [3] Highsnobiety writes that the track is "sublimely manic", with the rapper's "in-your-face bars [melding]" with Turreekk's "abrasive production". [4] According to Gay Times , "Quiz" thrives on the star's energetic flow and explicit lyrics, "as bouncy electronics and hard beats make it a welcome addition to her ever-growing catalogue." [5] Over swirls of synths, warped drills, and hand claps, the rapper "tears through each verse like a Category 6 hurricane, destroying everything in her path." [6] XXL notes how the rapper touches on some of her favorite food establishments with "vociferous pace", even referencing 50 Cent's acclaimed debut album title: Might buy the Uber man some, it depends on how the line fly/Or he could keep the 50 Cent change/Get rich or die tryin. [7]
Stereogum states that Cupcakke left her mark and "goes hard as hell over a beat that's pure energy". [8] Spin calls it "the hardest, heaviest single from the musician since her track 'Cinnamon Toast Crunch'", with a "single punch of gross-out euphoria". [9] Pitchfork called "Quiz" a roaring takedown "so riotous you can feel the weight of a mosh pit hurling around you" and dubbed it "pure party power", further stating that "Rowdy, rhythmic zig-zags feel ferociously amplified when paired with CupcakKe's lyrical intensity."
