Electropop and dance-pop track at 124 BPM in the key of G# minor. The arrangement features a prominent four-on-the-floor kick drum, syncopated synth bass, and bright, layered synthesizers. A gritty, distorted electric guitar riff provides a rhythmic counterpoint during the choruses. Vocals are processed with light pitch correction and doubling, featuring a male lead with occasional falsetto ad-libs. The production utilizes sidechain compression on pads and synths to create a pumping effect synchronized with the kick. Percussion includes crisp electronic claps on beats 2 and 4, with rapid 16th-note hi-hat patterns and occasional reverse cymbal swells. The bridge features a breakdown with filtered synth textures and a build-up using a snare roll and rising pitch effects.

Lyrics
[Intro]
(Serve face)
(Serve face)
Lights flash, lips taste like danger
Uh-huh
Yeah
Pose for me
[Verse 1]
Velvet rope, cheap champagne
Someone crying in the rain
Boys in mesh all look the same
God I love this stupid game
Mirrorball on nicotine
Posing like a magazine
Kiss me where the lights turn pink
Tell me what you really think
Black nails on a silver cup
Whole damn room is coked-up luck
DJ says “you’ve had enough”
Baby turn the music up
[Pre-Chorus]
Count to four
Strike a pose
Everybody overdosed
On attention, cheap perfume
Bad decisions in the bathroom
Heartbeat going synchronized
Everybody scandalized
Camera phones and bedroom eyes
Baby I could ruin lives
[Chorus]
If you can’t serve face
You can leave this place
Hands up, lipstick dangerous
Baby keep the bass on us
We can vogue if we want to
Leave your little boys behind
If they can’t work a mirrorball
They’re no friends of mine
Face card
Black heart
Main stage
After dark
Face card
Black heart
You want love?
Baby, take a number
[Post-Chorus]
Pose for me
Pose for me
Baby be a catastrophe
Too hot
Too loud
Too much
Turn it up
[Verse 2]
Flash photography attacks
Sweat glitter dripping down my back
Everybody dressed in black
Looking like a heart attack
Taxi kisses, 4 AM
Mascara running down again
You say “baby, what’s your name?”
Depends who’s asking in the end
Talk couture in dirty bars
Acting rich on stolen cards
Plastic angels, superstar
Making out beneath the stars
Emotionally seventeen
Fashion-drunk and nicotine
Beauty is a hungry beast
And tonight it’s eating me
[Pre-Chorus]
Count to four
Strike a pose
Everybody overdosed
On attention, cheap perfume
Bad decisions in the bathroom
Heartbeat going synchronized
Everybody scandalized
Cherry lips and bedroom eyes
Baby I could ruin lives
[Chorus]
If you can’t serve face
You can leave this place
Hands up, lipstick dangerous
Baby keep the bass on us
We can vogue if we want to
Leave your little boys behind
If they can’t work a mirrorball
They’re no friends of mine
Face card
Black heart
Main stage
After dark
Face card
Black heart
You want love?
Baby, take a number
[Bridge / Breakdown]
No photos in the bathroom line
Sweaty bodies, cheap red wine
Kiss me like you’re out of time
Flashbulb baby, look divine
Lean in closer, bite my lip
Talk some trendy apocalypse
Whole damn city tastes like sin
And I wanna drown in it
(Serve face)
(Serve face)
Hands on my waist now
(Serve face)
(Serve face)
Baby don’t waste now
[Final Chorus]
If you can’t serve face
You can leave this place
Hands up, lipstick dangerous
Baby keep the bass on us
We can vogue if we want to
Leave your little boys behind
If they can’t work a mirrorball
They’re no friends of mine
Face card
Black heart
Main stage
After dark
Face card
Black heart
Everybody wants a superstar
[Outro]
Pose for me
Pose for me
Baby be a catastrophe
Too hot
Too loud
Too much
Turn it up
(Serve face)
(Serve face)
(Serve face)
After dark
