"Cloak n Dagger" is a fast-paced rap, pop, and emo song driven by retro synth layers, a hazy instrumental, and gated drums. The song was written about removing a harmful person from your life; the hook was written about saying "fuck you" to somebody the duo wants to "rot in hell". "Cloak n Dagger" received positive reviews from critics; some thought it was a standout on Then I'll Be Happy and others highlighted the song's hook.
