Background and content
Barrett explained in a press release: "{{-'}}La Di Die' touches on how fame is dramatized and something most people wish for, when in reality, it's a dark and evil place. It was cool working with jxdn, not only is he my friend but a dope artist. He really helped make this song come to life!". Then Jxdn supplemented: "For me, this song represents that sometimes the hardest situation is the one that seems perfect. Don't ever be afraid to let people know you aren't where you wanna be. Set a goal, find a dream and make those reality. Live for others while being yourself; don't live for yourself while being like others".{{cite web|url=https://www.clashmusic.com/news/nessa-barrett-links-with-jxdn-on-new-single-la-di-die|title=Nessa Barrett Links With jxdn On New Single 'la di die'|work=Clashmusic|last=Murray|first=Robin|date=February 19, 2021|access-date=October 12, 2021}}
Critical reception
Warner Music Australia described the song as "[f]using warm acoustic guitar and icy 808s, it builds towards Nessa's hypnotic promise 'La da di oh la di da, gonna be a superstar'. Jxdn pulls up with an instantly unforgettable melody as their voices seamlessly entwine."{{cite web|url=https://warnermusic.com.au/news/nessa-barrett-joins-jxdn-on-the-new-belter-la-di-die|title=Nessa Barrett Joins jxdn On The New Alt-Pop Belter la di die|publisher=Warner Music Australia|date=February 19, 2021|access-date=October 12, 2021}}
