The track is a moody electronic pop track with a jittery beat, disjointed but sublime melodies and a sultry vocal performance from Ball. Lyrically the song is about unrequited love but with more than a hint of anger behind it, which is evidenced by the opening shots of the video which sees Ball step out of a car with heart emblazoned white high heel boots - and a sledgehammer.

The song is a slinky, dark electronic pop track with gorgeous multi-layered vocals and a backdrop of multiple hooks and intriguing sonics. Lyrically ‘Spent’ is about “being reminded of someone you still love but are no longer with,” with Ball relaying situations we can all relate to as we struggle to let go: “There’s the shop you used to drag me to / And now I go there all the time in case I see you”.

"The songwriter confronts the irritable emotions one goes through post-breakup. Tackling the annoyance with a satirical twist & complementing the narrative Ball is describing, the music annexes an edgy and subtly skittish mood to the whole track.
