Content
The song has its female narrator addressing a former lover, expressing her frustration at his behavior in their relationship, vowing to "give him what he deserves" in retaliation, and stating that she is done with him. "I don't wanna be your just for fun, don't wanna be under your thumb, all I wanna be is done."
Critical reception
The song has achieved critical acclaim, with music critics labeling it as "very catchy" and one of the stand-out tracks on Pioneer. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that it "is best enjoyed at an extremely loud volume. It’s the type of song that sells concert tickets, because you know it’s going to be quite a moment when the group gets to thrashing around on stage during the three-and-a-half minute track."{{cite news|last=Dukes|first=Billy|title=The Band Perry, 'Done' – Song Review|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/the-band-perry-done/|accessdate=March 13, 2013|newspaper=Taste of Country|date=February 26, 2013}} Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, saying that "the melody puts the Up in Uptempo while Kimberly Perry delivers a vocal that's all attitude and sass."{{cite news|last=Bjorke|first=Matt|title=Single Review: The Band Perry - "Done"|url=http://www.roughstock.com/blog/single-review-the-band-perry-done|accessdate=March 13, 2013|newspaper=Roughstock|date=February 25, 2013|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130301161912/http://www.roughstock.com/blog/single-review-the-band-perry-done|archivedate=March 1, 2013}}
