Composition
"Click" is a
synthpop song with
instrumentation from a
synthesizer. It is set in
common time and moves at a
tempo of 135 beats per minute in the
B-flat majorkey throughout the song. The
introduction starts with the synthesized music accompanying ClariS' vocals, and uses a
bridge to transition into the first
verse, followed by the
chorus. After another bridge, this pattern is repeated for the second verse and chorus featuring the same music with different lyrics. A
break is used to transition into the third verse, immediately followed by a short fourth verse. The chorus is used as the
outro, and an instrumental
coda is used to close the song.
