The song features minimalist production, a reverb-heavy guitar riff, and ambient sound effects.[7] Writing for HotNewHipHop, Zachary Horvath explained that it differed from the rest of the Southern trap of Days Before Rodeo in a positive way.[8] Lyrically, "Drugs You Should Try It" explores themes of escapism and love, as well as drug use.[6][7] Horvath describes the song as Scott at his most vulnerable, talking about "loving someone, as well as all of their druggy escapades together."[8]
