Composition
"Dark Thoughts" features an "upbeat and bouncy melody" in the style of Pharrell Williams's work with the Neptunes, drawing particular comparisons to "Frontin'" and "Beautiful".[2] In the song, Tecca talks to his girlfriend and assures her that he will always lend her an ear.[3]
Critical reception
Michael Saponara at Billboard saw the song as an example of Tecca "getting in his pop bag" as he delivers a "soundtrack to a night out on the rooftop bars" and ups "his artistry to new heights" in the process.[4] Devin Morton of HotNewHipHop elaborated that the song showcases Tecca's growth as an artist into a "more capable" songmaker and called "Dark Thoughts" a contender for "the best track of his career" even though it is not a new "stylistic choice". Morton thought the chorus was the climax of the song, calling his vocal delivery "infectious".[1]
