Music and composition

"Where She Goes" is primarily a Jersey club track that contains prominent elements of electronic, EDM, house, reggaeton, drill, urbano, hip-hop, and dembow. A dramatic melody then begins, backed by Bad Bunny's signature deep vocals. Bad Bunny first teased the single earlier this month on TikTok, joking, "Tell me if you like it and I'll send it to you via WhatsApp." While the song does feature an English title, Bad Bunny sings in his native Spanish, although he does use some English lines throughout the track, as fans have become used to. He rhymes about a girl he met once and ponders if he will ever see her again. ^{[11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]}

The vocal sample "Hey" is sampled from the 1995 sample CD "Best Service - Voice Spectral Vol 1".
