Background
"'Not Going Home' is sort of an anthem, a reminder that we all have roots and we all come the same place. For some home is where the heart is and for others home is where the music is," DVBBS said.

Critical reception
Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal wrote that the song "has a feel-good and liberating vibe to it, coupled with a catchy beat". Connor Jones of We Got This Covered wrote: "A mellow synth pluck kicks things off with a soothing chord progression alongside minimal beats, before the pace picks up in the drops with staccato bass stabs and upbeat rhythms. The song balances some catchy female vocal hooks courtesy of Gia Koka, layered over an uplifting dance backdrop."
