Composition

"Touch Me Like a Gangster" is a BDSM-themed song, [1] an instrumental consisting of strings and percussion with backbeats [2] The intro finds Jessie Murph telling her lover over the phone that even though they have not known each other for a long time, she will share some secrets about herself that she feels he should know. [1] [2] The first verse depicts her being ready to show her wild side to him, [2] before boldly revealing she likes things such as whips, chains and pain and wondering about the boundaries of their relationship in the pre-chorus. [1] [2] Murph states in the chorus that she does not care if her partner breaks social norms, as long as she finds pleasure in their sex. [2] In the second verse, she believes her interests are mutual between them and wants to know if he is being secretive about his preferences. Murph's signature raspy vocals are sometimes sung at higher pitches in the song. [1] [2] In the outro, she syncopates her words with the beat. [2]
