"Greedy" by Tate McRae follows a fairly standard pop song structure. The song is primarily in a moderate tempo, approximately 120 bpm, and is predominantly in the key of C major, though it modulates slightly throughout. The energy level is consistently high, building gradually through the verses and pre-chorus, culminating in a powerful and anthemic chorus. The melody is catchy and memorable, characterized by a relatively simple but effective vocal line with significant leaps and runs in the chorus that reflect the emotional intensity. Harmonically, the song relies on major chords with occasional minor chord injections, creating a bittersweet contrast that underscores the lyrical themes. The rhythm is largely driven by a steady four-on-the-floor beat, with syncopated elements added in the verses and pre-chorus to provide rhythmic interest, making it highly danceable. The song employs a subtle use of dynamic variation, growing in volume and intensity as the song progresses.
Lyrically, "Greedy" explores the complex emotions surrounding a budding relationship, specifically the fear of falling too fast and the internal conflict between wanting something more and fearing the potential heartbreak. The narrator is caught in a cycle of wanting more intimacy and commitment but simultaneously pushing their partner away due to insecurity and past experiences. The theme centers on vulnerability, fear of vulnerability, and the paradoxical nature of desire and self-preservation. The overall mood is one of bittersweet longing, tinged with anxiety and a sense of urgency, reflecting the internal struggle depicted in the lyrics.
Musically, "Greedy" fits into several genres and styles. It's primarily a pop song, drawing heavily on contemporary pop production techniques. Elements of electronic pop are apparent in the production, while the melodic and harmonic language also draws on aspects of synth-pop and even touches of alternative pop in its dynamic shifts and emotional range.
