The song balances some catchy female vocal hooks courtesy of Gia Koka, layered over an uplifting dance backdrop."{{Cite news|last=Connor Jones|date=November 23, 2016|title=DVBBS Release New Single "Not Going Home" Ahead Of EP|url=http://wegotthiscovered.com/music/dvbbs-release-new-single-not-going-home-ahead-ep/|work=We Got This Covered|access-date=June 30, 2017}}
