Composition
"Pasadena" is a song driven by "straight vibes", marked by an "early summer energy" suited for "coasting on the road".[5] It also introduces "another Tinashe", one "keen to explore hyper-pop and razor-sharp synths".[6] In the song, Tinashe sings lines such as "Feelin' free, feelin' free, feelin' right" and "Summer's coming round the corner".[5]
