The song features TV on the Radio member Dave Sitek on bass, in place of the previous bassists Eric Avery and Duff McKagan.{{cite web | url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2011/03/check-out-janes-addiction-end-to-the-lies/ | title=Check Out: Jane's Addiction – "End to the Lies" | publisher=Consequence of Sound | date=March 30, 2011 | accessdate=May 11, 2013 | author=Coplan, Chris}} Master Musicians of Joujouka also contribute to the track on rhaita and additional percussion.{{cite magazine | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jim-YANOn5AC&q=%22Irresistible+Force%22+%22jane's+addiction%22 | title=Jane's Addiction- Irresistible Force | magazine=Billboard |date=October–December 2011 | volume=123 | issue=35 | pages=31 | author= Menze, Jill}}
The song was compared to the works and the style of the TV on the Radio. The song progresses from Dave Sitek's funk-inspired grooves.{{cite web | url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/download-new-janes-addiction-song-end-to-the-lies-20110408 | title=Download New Jane's Addiction Song 'End to the Lies' | publisher=Rolling Stone | date=April 8, 2011 | accessdate=May 11, 2013 | author=Perpetua, Matthew}} It is noted for its "hypnotic tribal rhythm", which was attributed to Master Musicians of Joujouka's involvement, and Dave Navarro's "fuzzed-out" guitar work on the verse riff, which gave an impression of "pulsating."
