Composition
edit
Brown for the song was inspired by Marvin Gaye's 1982 song "Sexual Healing"
"Back to Sleep" is an R&B, mid-tempo slow jam about late night sex, that features beats and minor influences of funk, reminiscent of Marvin Gaye's 1982 song "Sexual Healing".[5][6][7][8] The production of the song infuses elements of new school R&B with elements of '80s pop, and is based on roland TR-808 beats.[9][10]
Brad Wete of Billboard analyzed its lyrical content by saying that "Brown stars, most likely, as himself -- fresh off a late night flight into town where, hopefully (but honestly, certainly) a beauty he’s yearning for will stay awake long enough for him to arrive at 3:30 a.m. so he too can be healed (“f--k”), then tuck her in for actual sleep. Chris wonders if she’ll leave him a spare key, but then cautions, “But if you keep the door unlocked, be ready”".[7]
