"Mr Right" is two minutes and 47 seconds long.^[8] Jason Gill and Victor Rådström produced, programmed, and engineered the song. They played guitar, drums, keyboards; Johan Ivansson played bass; and Claudia Piazza and Rachel Nutton provided the clapping. Alex Ghenea mixed it, and Jeremy Cooper mastered it.^[9]

"Mr Right" has a disco production. During her verse, Stephens expresses her opinions about the dating pool of men available to her, and adds that while she is content being alone, she is reluctantly willing to see what is available in the way of potential suitors. Trainor's part sees her declare her worth, and says that she will keep on exploring her options until a man can provide her the good treatment she deserves. Carl Smith of the Official Charts Company commented that "the earworm of a chorus, with its quirky lyricism, [details] the realisation that Mr. Right isn't always so easy to find".^[1]
