Background and composition
"Tempo" was called "a rhythmical hip-hop-leaning dance track that showcases a cappella harmonies as they send warnings not to 'mess up his tempo' with their lover".[1] Billboard stated the preview "starts off with a dramatic synth melody, pulsating beat and the phrase 'I can't believe'."[2]
