five stairsteps
the song is an uptempo dance-pop song that runs a length of 4:49 (4 minutes and 49 seconds). the song follows in the inspirational dance-pop theme of "the e.n.d", being built upon the heavy use of auto-tune and futuristic synthesizers while running through a tick-tock rhythm. it is composed in the key of g major. the song begins in a restrained fashion then moves into a throbbing dance beat that changes patterns so that at least one reviewer thought it shifted tempos, although in fact the tempo does not change at all, suggesting the use of a click track in recording. it contains electronic influences. the song samples a beat from the song "take a dive" by bryan pringle. the "woo-hoo" line is sampled from the police's song "every breath you take". ann powers of "los angeles times" noted the song's similarities to five stairsteps' song "ooh child", writing that it emulates the song's "use of a repetitive, warm vocal line to signify a good mood coming on." according to jimmy iovine of the interscope geffen a&m label group, the melody was inspired by the u2 song "i'll go crazy if i don't go crazy tonight": "i sent will.i.am over to the studio to do some remixes on i'll go crazy. he works on them for two weeks, comes back and writes i gotta feeling. the chords are u2 chords, 100 per cent. will even told them."
