The song was written and produced by Shinsadong Tiger, LE and V!VE. It samples the 2015 song "WTF (Where They From)" by Missy Elliott featuring Pharrell Williams. The song was described by Billboard's Tamar Herman as an electro-pop song, "kicking off with a powerful bass beat and wailing synths". She added that the song "begins as a mid-tempo track before a breathy pre-chorus builds into a climactic chorus that's filled with groovy instrumentals and is enhanced by LE’s garbled titular chant". Lyrically, the song "tellsthe story of a woman demanding the truth from a lover who cheats on her time and time again but trembles in fear before her, as she alternates between reactions ranging from regret to anger to self-blame."
Although member Solji is absent from the music video and from the track's promotion events due to health issues, her vocals can be heard on the song.

떨리는 동공 더더더덜
머리 굴리는 소리 안 나게 좀 해 봐
다 티가 나 기가 차 뭐가 그리 찔리나
지금 웃음이 나와 짜증 나게
내가 뭘 했다고 니 머리 다리 팔이 떨려 덜덜덜
Yeah 도둑마냥 제 발 저렸지 막
쥐 잡듯이 잡아 주지 난
What you, what you wanna do right now?
How stupid little dumb, dumb stop now?
거짓말 다 니가 속인 거래
한번 하면 또 한대
버릇돼서 결국 끝난대
옆에서 다 내가 미친 거래
너만 속아 주고 다 주고 다 주고
하지 마 자꾸만

The song "DDD" by the South Korean girl group EXID is about a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics tell a story of a woman who is tired of her partner's lies and games and wants to move on from the relationship. In the chorus, she asks her partner to stop playing with her and making her feel crazy, and to simply be quiet and leave her alone. The lyrics are filled with metaphors and imagery that describe the woman's frustration, such as her body shaking and her eyes darting back and forth.
One interesting aspect of the song is its use of onomatopoeia. Throughout the song, the phrase "떨리는 동공 더더더덜" is repeated several times, which translates to "my trembling pupils go ddd" in English. This phrase is meant to emphasize the woman's anxiety and fear in the situation. Another interesting aspect of the song is its catchy beat and melody, which are typical of K-pop music.
