Music and lyrics



"Save Me" is a tropical house and electropop track. 'NME's Rhian Daly described it as "deceptively bright and bouncy an aural carnival that masks the pleas for help in the lyrics." The song opens with energetic synth sound that sonically develops towards tropical house sound. The song contains a speedy rhythm and a "frenetic" chorus. 'Billboard' described it as "powerfully subtle". Lyrically, it deals with the theme of salvation. The song was written by Pdogg, Ray Michael Djan Jr, Ashton Foster, Samantha Harper, RM, Suga, and J-Hope with Pdogg serving as the primary producer. Musically, it is in the key of D major and is 140 beats per minute.
