Composition
Charlie Zhang of Hypebeast has described the production of the song having a "a mid-tempo trap beat laced with blaring 808s, ghoulish synths and crisp snares."{{cite web|last=Zhang|first=Charlie|date=January 4, 2020|title=MoneyBagg Yo & Lil Baby Drop New Single "U Played"|url=https://hypebeast.com/2020/1/moneybagg-yo-lil-baby-u-played-song-stream|access-date=June 13, 2020|website=Hypebeast|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211214204858/https://hypebeast.com/2020/1/moneybagg-yo-lil-baby-u-played-song-stream|archive-date=December 14, 2021|url-status=live}} Alex Zidel of HotNewHipHop wrote that Moneybagg Yo is "fully flexing an avoidant attachment style" and "refusing to get too close to his potential lover" in the hook. Lil Baby is "showing off his diamond teeth" and "delivering yet another impressive display."{{cite web|last=Zidel|first=Alex|title=MoneyBagg Yo & Lil Baby Ring In The New Year With "U Played"|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/moneybagg-yo-and-lil-baby-ring-in-the-new-year-with-u-played-new-song.1985668.html|access-date=June 13, 2020|website=HotNewHipHop|date=2 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211124212359/https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/moneybagg-yo-and-lil-baby-ring-in-the-new-year-with-u-played-new-song.1985668.html|archive-date=November 24, 2021|url-status=live}}
