Composition

Aaron Williams of Uproxx described the song as "ominous" and more "aggressive".[3] "Bleed" finds A Boogie wit da Hoodie melodically rapping about valuing wealth and materialistic possessions over love, over a "sinister" drill instrumental produced by S.Dot and JoeFromYO,[4] consisting of "haunting keys and sliding 808s".[5]
