Composition

"Be Real" is a synth-pop and hip hop[1] song with a length of three minutes and forty two seconds. The song lyrically talks about wanting honesty in a relationship that no longer feels genuine.[2] The song was penned by Ryan, Kyle Shearer, and Nathaniel Campany, while Valley Girl handled the production of the song.[4]

Critical reception

Ariella Kozin of We Are the Guard wrote that the song marks a "sweet spot that makes a hit song—it's vulnerable, but not without a glamorous mask."[5][unreliable source?]
