The song's instrumental was originally created as a song titled "If" for Beyonce's 2006 album B'Day, with lyrics written by Ne-Yo. Uploads of Ne-Yo's "If" demo can be found on YouTube.[2]

"Can't Help But Wait" was written by Johntá Austin with its producers, Stargate.[3] The song was sent for United States rhythmic contemporary airplay on August 7, 2007 by Songbook and Atlantic Records.[4][5] Elsewhere, "Can't Help But Wait" was released as a one-track digital download by WEA International on August 28, 2007.[6] Additionally, Atlantic Records released a CD single on March 17, 2008 in the United Kingdom.[7]

According to the sheet music published by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Can't Help But Wait" is an R&B song set in common time with a moderate R&B tempo of 112 beats per minute. It is written in the key of G minor, and follows the chord progression of E{{music|flat}}maj7–Cm9–Gm9–Gm, and Songz' voice in the song spans from F4 to G5.[3] "Can't Help But Wait" is about Songz wanting a woman who is mistreated by her boyfriend;[4] he attempts to persuade the woman to leave her partner.[3] Throughout the song, Songz gives examples of how women can be treated courteously.[3] A remix of "Can't Help But Wait" features Lil Wayne.[5]
