"Step Back" was composed by Dwayne Abernathy Jr., Taylor Monet Parks, and Ryan Jhun, along with Yoo Young-jin, who also wrote the Korean lyrics of the song.[6] The song was written by Yoo and was widely known as the SM Music Performance (SMP) representative, which features strong performances and critical social lyrics unique to SM Entertainment.[7] Musically, it was described as an "addictive" hip-hop R&B song with repeated bass and instrument variations.[8] Lim Sun-hee of IZM mentioned the twisted string instrument sound and added that as the chorus progresses, the chaos decreases while noting Yoo Young-jin's chorus appearance and comparing it to the SMP concept of SuperM.[9] Tim Chan of Rolling Stone noted the dubstep, hip-hop, and electro house elements incorporated in the bass-heavy track with Got the Beat "alternating between singing, rapping, and a cheerleader chant-style chorus".[10] The song was also noted for the group's "unique" vocals and "solid" singing skills that enhanced the "perfection" of the single.[11] It is composed in the key of C-sharp major, with a tempo of 162 beats per minute.[12] The lyrics contain "straightforward" expressions of a woman with high self-esteem in love with her lover.[13]

"Step Back" was met with mostly negative reviews from music critics, who panned its lyrical content but was favorable towards the group's vocals. Kim Soo-jung of No Cut News complimented the group's vocals but condemned the lyrics for being misogynistic.[7] Gelene Peñalosa of Inquirer Pop! described the track as a "gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss" anthem and condemned the song's lyricist as she describes it as "very anti-feminist and gives off a very strong feeling of being written by a man".[14] Tamar Herman of South China Morning Post called it a "stereotypical and anti-feminist" song, even adding that South Korean music critic Jung Min-jae suggested that the lyrics be rewritten and the single re-released.[15] Cho Hye-jin of Xports News wrote that the lyrics "left a sense of disappointment",[16] while Lim Sun-hee of IZM criticized the lyrics for being full of "rambling and demeaning" narratives and rated the song 1.5 stars out of 5.[9]

Benedetta Geddo of Teen Vogue called it a "swagger-filled" song that showcases the group's "impeccable" vocals we are used to hearing from SM Entertainment artists.[17] Haley Yang of Korea JoongAng Daily pointed out the track's melody as it was "seeing overwhelmingly positive reviews as members flaunt impressive high notes" but noted that many fans were "perplexed" as to why the song was introduced as a "girl power anthem". Yang also indicated the responses of fans to such lamenting that "everything is perfect except the lyrics", "mentioning male attention to validate their confidence", and calling the lyrics "so out-of-trend" and "anachronistic". She noted the song's "internalized misogyny by antagonizing another woman and accusing her of being flirtatious", thus perpetuating the age-old phrase "women are women's worst enemies".[18]

Mary Siroky of Consequence described the track as "less of an empowerment anthem" and noted that it had seemingly left many fans "disappointed" from what the group was marketed for.[19] Ryu Ji-hoon of Dailian wrote that many fans expressed dissatisfaction due to the song's outdated lyrics such as "My man is on another level / You can't even dream about this level", "Take your hands off of mine," and "This isn't the place for you".[20]
