Composition and lyrics

[edit]

"S", an introductory track, blends pop metal guitar and R&B-pop.[13][14] The title track "Girls Never Die" delivers "early 2000s dance grooves" with synth and bass.[15] It describes persevering through struggle, and viewing it as chances to grow and value experiences. "Heart Raider" has a liquid garage beat and tells the story of a crush on a friend. "Midnight Flower" is bubbly pop rock song[14] with a foundation of beats and guitars reminiscent of the 1980s.[15] "White Soul Sneakers" is an afrobeat[14] and acid funk song. "Chiyu" is a simple, mellow track.[15] "24", the follow up to the earlier TripleS track "Rising",[13] has "the members hyping themselves up".[14] "Dimension" is arranged in a new jack swing style.[13] Overall, Assemble24 lyrically contains floral imagery, using it as a symbol of strength and also of TripleS.[14]
