Background and composition[edit]
Most of my inspiration comes from sadness because it’s the emotion that sticks in the back of my mind and the easiest way to get things out is through music
— Lipa, "Dua Lipa On Falling In Love With Music and Growing Up Fast", Hunger TV.[1]
"Room for 2" is a midtempo dark and soulful ballad.[2][3][4][5] It was composed in 4
4 time in the key of A major, with a tempo of 76 beats per minute that has a "steadily" feel.[6][7] Lipa's vocals, which were described as "husky", "enveloping" and "siren-like", span from the low note of E3 to the high note of C♯5.[6][4][3][8] The song follows a A-F♯m-C♯m-B5 sequence.[6] The song slowly builds, with a pulsating beat and piano chimes.[5][4] It has a "banging" chorus with hypnotic vibes.[4] A "static and haunting" song, the outro features humming which gives a creepy vibe.[4]
