Composition and lyrics Produced by Servando Primera, David Sánchez, Victor Cárdenas and Luis Barrera, "Baila Conmigo" is a Spanish-language dance and EDM track with lyrics are about wanting to spend a special night at the beach dancing until the sunrise. According to a rough translation, the song begins with Lopez asking her lover to "imagine me and you on the beach" with "the sand, the ocean, the sound of the waves" setting the scene for a romantic union. She goes on to fantasize about “traveling all over your body", begging her partner to "kiss me, touch me, and dance with me" before they "touch heaven" with their hands and glue their mouths together. She also sings: "Dale que dale mas duro que la música rompe los muros que solo bailando me curo/ Baila Conmigo" (Do it hard because music breaks barriers and only dancing I heal/ Dance with me).

Mike Nied of Idolator said that "the track is a high-energy floor-filler." Joey Nolfi of EW Entertainment also called the song a "fiery Spanish song."
