A midtempo slow-jam pop song, "If Only" exhibits elements of ballad and bubblegum pop.[2] Multi-tracked harmonies, the song's instrumentation includes slow-bouncing piano tones and keyboard.[3] The song was written by Adam Anders, Nikki Hassman and Peer Astrom and produced by the duo Twin.[2] The critics of Fictively noted that part of the song is an internal monologue, meant to be fluid in the story.[3] Lyrically, the song talks about an internal conflict over a love interest ("Should I let my heart keep listenin'? / Which way should I go?").[4]

Chart performance

On August 11, 2015, "If Only" debuted at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]Then it jumped 5 spots on the chart and peaking at number 94 in its second week before falling of the chart the following week.
