"All the Good Girls Go to Hell" was described as a punchy piano number and one of its parent album's poppiest tracks in a press review. During the song's lyrics, Eilish explores the idea that God and the Devil are both "looking at human beings as this kind of meek group of people and just being like, "What are they trying to do here?".

The music video for the song was uploaded onto Eilish's YouTube channel on September 4, 2019.
