Background and composition

Lewis discussed the song's conception: "Ricky played the beat and that just started the idea. I sang 'I got bills' and he just popped up off his chair. It was like a chain reaction. Ricky doesn't really get excited about much. I don't either because we write so much, so it's hard to gauge but there was a good feeling. We were writing about things people can relate to, which is fun. It's all truthful."
Described as a novelty song, "Bills" features "elements of hip-hop and soul, with a ragtag, jazz sound". The song has a tempo of 126 beats per minute, and is in the key of F major.
