With a slick sample of Michael Jackson's "It's The Falling In Love" mixed into the soundbed, "We Made It" gives trippy soul vibes before delving into a trap & B feel as she celebrates her successes and the people who helped her get there. "For all those nights hopin' that we'd find it / Lookin' at the sky, like thank God that you're with me / You're with me," she sings on the chorus. "Run red lights and following the signs / It's been a long ride and I just can't believe / Can't believe we made it." Meanwhile, the verses find her detailing the trappings of her success, including awards and the sweet taste of excelling beyond her haters' wildest dreams. It all winds down with a triumphant electric guitar solo that crashes into a soft piano outro that closes it all out.
