"Soon" is composed in the key of A major. Its verses follow the chord pattern Fm-Fdim-A/E-D-G9-F-B-Bm7-Esus4-E, while the chorus follows the pattern A-D-A-E/G-Fm-B7sus4-B-Bm7-E-A and the bridge is Cm-D-A-Bm twice. The song follows a woman who has an affair with a married man, who tells her that he will "soon" be available for her; at the end, the woman realizes that the man has not ended his existing relationship. During a songwriting session, Bob Regan met Casey Kelly for the first time when Kelly presented a lyric that he had first written in the 1980s: "'Christmas finds her all alone with no cause to rejoice / So she calls his Code-a-Phone just to hear his voice'", as well as the song's general concept and title. The two also decided on a "lyrically different chorus to go with each additional verse". After completing the song, immediately decided to pitch it to Tanya Tucker, whom they thought would "take a chance" on the song's unusual material.
