Throughout the song there is a continuous tempo which is fairly fast. The dynamics vary with it beginning very soft but slowly building up into the first verse, as the song progresses it peaks volume at the chorus. At times throughout the piece effects were applied to vocals giving it a rather slurred sound, other than that the vocalists have a typical shouting tone with no back up vocalists. The texture throughout the song varies with the chorus being the thickest and the intro had the thinnest texture. The time signature of the song is four-four.
