Composition and reception

"Conceited" was produced by Fyre, Trinidad James, and Kosine. [7] It is a short, two-minute and 26 second track that contains themes of female empowerment and self-love. The beat of the song was described as energetic, and the lyrics were called braggadocious. [8] She makes bold claims, raps self-affirming lines, and "bounces off the beat". [9] [7] Armon Sadler of Uproxx said that Flo Milli raps "with ferocity" on the track. [3] On the hook of "Conceited", Flo Milli raps: "Feeling myself, I'm conceited", which Ryan Leas of Stereogum called a "characteristic snarl". [2] She continues rapping after the hook, saying that she has been important since she was a fetus, and that she does not need a man's money. [3]

Consequence named "Conceited" their favorite rap song of the week, and called the content of the song a "throwback to Flo Milli's earlier days". [10] Wisdom Iheanyichukwu of Refinery29 remarked that the song has "memorable bars", and called the song as a whole as "fun and unapologetic". [8]
