Written and produced by Carey, Larry Blackmon, Thomas Jenkins and Clark Kent, "Loverboy" is built around a sample from "Candy" by Cameo, who are also featured on the track. As an uptempo song, it draws influence from R&B, pop and hip-hop music genres, and incorporates derivatives from 1980s melodies.
