Composition

The song leans toward an R&B sound. [1] [2] Don Toliver performs melodically and also uses a "chirpy, clipped" delivery similar to that of rapper 645AR. The lyrics find him seducing a romantic interest, [3] depicting an intimate relationship that involves sex. [1] He uses the word "tiramisu" as a metaphor in that regard, during the chorus. [2]

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. Bryson "Boom" Paul of HotNewHipHop stated "Ultimately, 'Tiramisu' transcends being a polished R&B single; it's an atmospheric exploration of contradictions—combining romance, intimacy, and melancholy. With this track, Toliver continues to define his space in contemporary hip-hop and R&B through ambiguity and emotional depth." [1] Aaron Williams believed that the song "benefits greatly from Cardo's laid-back but propulsive production, which brings a new dimension out of Toliver's sing-song flow", and Toliver's vocal delivery "works pretty well here". [3] Robin Murray of Clash described it as a "wavey dose of top tier American rap" and "Perhaps the best rap song to be named after an Italian coffee-based dessert this year". [4]

Music video

The music video was released alongside the single. It features obscured shots of Don Toliver, with visuals primarily focusing on women, who appear to be on a nighttime camping trip. The clip also includes driving sequences with burnout, as well as a silhouette figure dancing. [3]
