"ABCD" was written by Rick Bridges and J.Y. Park "The Asiansoul", composed and arranged by Pdogg, Ghstloop, and Aron Bergerwall with Louise Lindberg and Shorelle participating in the composition, and Evan participating in the arrangement.[8] It was described as a dance-pop and hip hop song with "early 2000s pop diva vibes" and containing the message of "teaching and tempting the person who is my type from A to Z about love from beginning to end".[9][10] In terms of musical notation, it was composed in the key of E-flat minor, with a tempo of 106 beats per minute.[11]

Throughout the video, the singer dances with "effortless charisma showcasing her captivating presence with every move".[12]
