Composition

The lyrics were written by G-High from MonoTree and Jaden Jeong, with G-High also serving as the producer.[1]

Billboard described "Butterfly" as having a "bass-infused, synthy melody" with a "sense of bright airiness and groovy beat drops." It also highlighted the focus on the diverse vocals tones that moved between "autotuned wails, breathy verses and coy raps". Lyrically, the women sing about flying like the titular creature and letting dreams take flight.[2]
