"One Right Now" is anelectropop andemo -influencedelectro-funk ,robo-funk , andsynth-pop song that is set in the key ofD♭ major .[ 8] [ 9] [ 10] [ 11] [ 12] Based on the teaser, the sound was described as "a synthy midtempo club track".[ 13] It sees the two "harmonizing over an upbeat instrumental".[ 14] Writing forBillboard , Starr Bowenbank referred to the instrumental as a "poppy synth beat".[ 15] Alex Zidel ofHotNewHipHop predicted that the song will "dominate the radio for the remainder of the year, and likely well into next".[ 16] For the radio version, The Weeknd replaced his lyric censors from the official clean version with the newly recorded lyrics "You think it's so easy messin' with my feelings" and "You probably slap all my enemies". Post Malone left his lyric censors as they were. They both sang "That you told me that he fucked you on" twice, separate then together, and tying to Post Malone's record label, it was also left censored.
