The song was written by Day, Nick Bailey, Xandy Barry, and Ryan Orgen. Production was handled by Wally Gagel and Xandy Barry of Wax Ltd, with additional production from Blueprint. Musically, "Hypnotic" is an alternative, folk, pop song with hip-hop, country and dream pop influences. Lyrically, it discusses the struggle and eventual loss of power in a new relationship.
