[2] Months later Puth played the song for Selena Gomez, [3] whom he had met previously at an after party following the MTV Video Music Awards. [4] He thought that their voices would complement each other well [4] and then asked her to sing the second verse. Gomez's vocals were recorded in Puth's closet.

"We Don't Talk Anymore" is a pop song with a tropical-inspired production. [8] [9] Bobby Oliver of NJ.com described it as "a pulsing club jam." [10] Lyrically,the song takes perspective from a former couple and their struggle to maintain a normal communication system in the aftermath of their break-up. Puth said the song is about "relationships where you're obsessed with that one person,but then you break it up peacefully,but it's changed. You can't talk to them like friends anymore. You can say you want to remain friends,but it's easier said than done. It’s heartbreaking. 'We Don't Talk Anymore' is basically the conversation a month after that type of breakup." [4]
The song was met with critical acclaim from critics. Writing for Spin ,Brennan Carley found the song "wisely trades verses between the two pop forces,cashing in on the trop-house trend" and added that it is "a worthy,breezy slice of pop." [8] Bobby Oliver of NJ.com wrote the song is "wonderfully infectious,and feels destined for hit radio." [10] MTV's Madeline Roth praised the singers' vocals by saying they "blend so beautifully together." [11] Marie Sherman of Fuse said the song is "freaking catchy" and that the chorus would be stuck in people's heads. [12] Lindsey Sullivan of Billboard called the song "ridiculously catchy".
