Composition
Described as a "deadpan house banger" and "one of the most lyrically inane songs of Robyn's career", the song "attempt[s] to capture the exact feelings of just chilling somewhere tropical and quietly enjoying yourself".[1] It features a sample of Timmy Thomas's "Why Can't We Live Together", as well as a musical reference to Robyn's debut "Show Me Love".[6] "Beach 2k20" features "jazzy samba beats" and "the occasional 'Schwoop!' sound you might recognize from a departing iMessage"[7]
