Recording and composition
"Deserve" was written by Kris Wu and Travis Scott, while production was handled by Louis Bell. The song was recorded in summer 2016 in Los Angeles. Wu told Zane Lowe, host of Apple Music 1: "[...] One of the homies said that he had reached out to Travis Scott, and he was actually in New York. Then we threw out this idea of collaborating and he was really down. He flew out from New York to L.A. and then we met in the studio, kicking it, vibe out a little bit, and then we just got on the record and made this amazing record." Wu later told Beatrice Hazlehurst of 'Paper' that the songs creation "was super organic, Travis was out of town but we had this idea for a collaboration, you know, East and West." The song has been described as an "Auto-Tune driven" hip hop song, which features "harmonizing vocals and mellow raps"
Reception
'Billboard's' Tamar Herman described "Deserve" as a "trap-laden banger built to be played in clubs around the world."
