Composition
Musically, "Black and White" has been described as a pop rock ballad. The song was compared to the works of Ed Sheeran and Horan's former band One Direction. Lyrically, it is "a soaring declaration of eternal devotion" with visions of a wedding day and golden hour. In terms of music notation, "Black and White" was composed using common time in the key of D major, with a tempo of 148 beats per minute. Horan's vocal range spans from the low note A2 to the high note of D5 (in the backing).
Live performances
Horan first performed the song on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden' on 13 March 2020. Horan also performed the song on 18 April 2020 on the Lady Gaga-curated 'One World: Together At Home' television special, a benefit event by Global Citizen to raise funds for the World Health Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
