Banks described Off with Her Head as "a big sister to Goddess" sonically, noting that she had reunited with several producers who had contributed to her debut album. "River" was compared to "Home Maker" by Sudan Archives due to its "velvety pulses" and was cited as another "vulnerable" song on the album. The title track closes Off with Her Head and discusses "leaving a gaslighter". The deluxe edition of Off With Her Head introduced the new track "Candy", in which Banks addresses her experiences with depression, the complexities of antidepressants, and the struggle of whether to return to them. She described the song as a personal and dream-like composition that conveys emotions such as anger, shame, love, and acceptance, while also reflecting on family dynamics connected to mental health. ==Critical reception==
