Music critic Simon Reynolds described the lyrics as a "strafing stream of syllables" mixing "speed rap, jive talk, baby babble," and the song as "punk scat, all hiccoughs, vocal tics, gasps and feral growls, weirdly poised between love and hate, oral sensuality and staccato, stabbing aggression." Mason notes that the music of "Precious" maintains some restraint, but still sounds more threatening than other songs which sound angrier. The climax of "Precious" comes when Hynde sings the line "But not me, baby, I'm too precious/Fuck off!" "Spin" critic Charles Aaron noted that Hynde's singing this line

'And every time you walk out, the less I love you / Baby, we don't stand a chance / It's sad, but it's true.'

Musically, "Right Round" uses the recurring pop rap themes of Flo Rida's music; specifically, similarities were noted between the song and "Low" (2007), with Allmusic reviewer David Jeffries calling "Right Round" its "heir apparent". The song is "swaggering" and "bass-heavy", according to Leah Greenblatt of "Entertainment Weekly". The lyrics discuss being in a strip club with friends and tossing money at a woman performing a striptease.

According to Burns, 12-inch singles comprised over 70% of the original sales of You Spin Me Round, and because these were regarded by the record label as promotional tools rather than sales, the band had to threaten legal action against the label before they received the royalties on them. Nu metal band Dope covered the song on their 1999 album "Felons and Revolutionaries"; the cover also appeared on the soundtrack for the film "American Psycho". The band's version became their first chart entry on any "Billboard" chart, reaching no. 37 on

Inglis lists these "stock motifs" as "a repetitive and attractive melody", "a stereotypical choice of language", "the familiar topic of lost, or unrequited, love" and "the conventional form of address from a man to a woman, in the persistent use of 'baby'".
