"Energetic" was composed by production team Flow Blow with Pentagon's Hui and Wooseok, who also produced "Never", one of the songs included in Produce 101 Season 2 Top 35 concept challenge evaluation; and won 2nd-place position during the show's on-site voting.
Musically, "Energetic" is a dance-pop track with a hint of ballad. It begins with a mellow piano melody which transcends into an electropop chorus.{{cite web|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=3037116|title=[New Release] WANNA ONE|date=August 15, 2017|work=Korea JoongAng Daily}}
