Composition and critical reception

"Walking Away" is inspired by Bieber's wife, Hailey Bieber, in which he dismisses false relationship narratives about them that were represented in the media in the past few years, while promising to stay committed to her and change his ways for the better. [1] A "pensive" song, sings over soft Roland TR-808 drums about having a solid relationship with her. [2] [3] Lyndsey Havens of Billboard ranked it third among the album's tracks and described it as "a goosebump-raising confessional about why Bieber isn't 'walking away' from his marriage", summarizing that "this song functions like a refreshingly honest vow renewal, as Bieber recalls giving Hailey her ring and promising to change" and "he sounds undoubtedly sincere — but then again, there's only one listener who can be the judge of that". [4]
