On the chorus, Halsey sings over funk-led production: "I've been waiting for you all year / Come play, make a mess right here / Do whatever, I like it weird / Okay, let 'em disappear / Say whatever you want to hear/ Just stay". Williams uses a high pitch in the pre-chorus: "The energy is flowing, it keeps us glowing / So we don't need no lights, why is it on? / I'm talking to you, girl, it's a new world". It lets a psychedelic "crispy guitar and a thick-ever present bass" take the center stage for the production. "Stay with Me" is a funk-inspired pop and disco song.
