Composition

[edit]

"Gold Pants" is a hip hop and electronic, and electro[1] song with additional influences of R&B and house. Written by Leslie Hall, it is in the key of C minor, moving at a tempo of 120 beats per minute. Like the rest of the album, it was composed using Garageband.

The track begins with an R&B string segment, before breaking into a house beat with electronic and hip hop synthesizers. Leslie Hall raps during the verses, while singing during the chorus. Her vocals range from A#3-G4. The song's lyrics are about gold pants, as the main hook's lyrics show: "Thank you mama for making me gold pants/Ones I can dance in, and make romance in."
