In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Carpenter confirmed that she wrote the song there in a "very quick process", and that inspired "how the song ended up feeling". The lyrics of the song are about self-confidence. Speaking to American magazine Vogue, she stated that the song is about "seeing femininity as your super power and embracing the confidence of being 'that bitch'". Music journalists described the song's genre as pop, funk, and dance, encompassing synth-pop, electropop, disco, post-disco, nu-disco and bubblegum. Musicologist Dr. Joe Bennett considered the song to be part of the ongoing disco revival and drew comparisons to songs by Daft Punk, Dua Lipa, Lizzo, and Doja Cat. The main guitar riff and drums featured in the song are loops coming from the Splice sample pack "Power Tools Sample Pack III", created by Oliver.
