Composition
The song contains 808 beats and traditional country instrumentation.[1] In the lyrics, Morgan Wallen details having quit his alcohol and drug addiction and been consulting with the doctor and God, but feeling more miserable than before despite bettering himself on the outside.[1][2][3] He laments that he cannot escape from his true nature, regardless of his efforts.[1][2][4]
Critical reception
Billboard placed "Kick Myself" at number 21 in their ranking of the songs from I'm the Problem, writing that the song "feels confessional with a rapid-fire chorus that offers one of Wallen's best vocal deliveries".[2] Meaghan Garvey of Pitchfork called the song "a cheesy rap-rock moment, though not without its pathos".[3]
